We found this black swan swimming in the pond on our visit in November to Oswaldtwistle Mill.
Actually there were two swans.
I'm not sure if black swans are quite as viscious as their white cousins, such as the ones I encountered at Thorpe Acre in Leicestershire.
And here is a link to one I photographed in Southport
Great shot, something special about 'the odd one out' the black swan or the albino mouse.
ReplyDeleteYep, VERY cool! Thanks for doing this! And Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...can you explain Mark's comment about the albino mouse Gerald? I think he's getting his animals mixed up! Either that or he just likes to monkey around, LOL! ;)
ReplyDeletelove your black swans
ReplyDeleteI've just posted a haiga with swans done in collaboration with phill deason at Mandy's Meanderings
Swans, swans, everywhere! Gerald, inspired by your New Year's Day attempt, I'm going down the list and trying to visit EVERY city blog in the link - after 3 days, I'm down to Oxford today. But I'm finding new places, and quite a few new favorites in some surprising places.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and exotic...I would like to see these in person.
ReplyDeleteLets see now... there is a Black Swan Hotel in Helmsley, Yorkshire.
ReplyDeleteWe have wild swans on some of our lakes, I will try and get some pics soon.
