I've never seen a photo that shows this view of a swan's wings. Lovely.

We have Black Swans in Australia

Do you also have white swans in Australia?

 

[peramangkelder]

Yes @Devi we do now but when I was a child the only Swans in Australia were Black
The only White Swans I had ever seen were in picture books which were mainly from the UK or on in TV Shows
My huz came from the UK in 1960 and was amazed when he arrived in Western Australia and he first saw Black Swans
There are stories of many a pioneer having roast Black Swan instead of roast Turkey for their Christmas Dinner

Thanks, @peramangkelder. I didn't know all that.
