Black Swans (Cygnus atratus)

[mikeyb]

Never seen them in the wild before, not sure where they have come from. Not ringed, but I suppose they could escapee's from somewhere, mind you there are also a pair of unringed White Cheeked Pintails from the Carribean on the loch too. Poor pic but just thought I'd show them, Emily (grandaughter) was able to feed them later on by hand when we went back for a look in the afternoon.

Could just be on their winter hols then, or they were on their way to Perth and the missus was doing the mapreading
