Black Swans (Cygnus atratus) are a common sight in Australia - assuming you can get out of your house!
These birds we just loafing around in the sun at Werribee last week - and I happened to find them in one of the few bursts of sunshine that broke through the clouds on Friday. That was my first day out in a while and I have to say even if the birding was quiet by the normal standards of the site, it was great to finally get out again.

Certainly an iconic Australian bird, Stewart.
ReplyDeleteSuch a treat to see black swans. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOur local city park procured two pairs of Black Swans many years ago. It has been a treat watching them raise a family each year.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your photographs.
Here's hoping your current incarceration is short-lived!
I just love Black Swans..We Have a lake uptown that used to have 2 pair of black Swans..I haven't visited it for a while (Note to self)..I think they rented them for the summer..Wonderful pictures...

ReplyDeleteIts such a treat for me to see black swans, having only seen them in Europe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I've never seen a black swan in person.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteI always think of swans as white. I forget there are black ones, too!
They are very graceful. Glad you had a chance to get out. Our situation here in Florida is worsening with the Delta variant and the protests by anti0mask and anti-vaccine activists.
ReplyDeleteNice looking swans. The water looks choppy.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of the swans!@
