Black Swan

First time I ever seen a black swan.



P.S. Is this a rare swan? I did a search and couldn't find anything on them.
Thanks Frank

They are native to Australia (probably brought here as an ornamental species).

How do I know this? Is it the one or two threads we had a year or two ago? No.

Is it that I've downed a few wines from Australia with the Black Swan label? Yes

Amazing colors on this bird. Red and black always go good together. Very nice shot of an unusual bird.

Loupey is correct. It's a feral swan from someone's collection.
