Swan
A visit to the the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT) at Slimbridge during the winter months can usually produce over a hundred Berwick swans.  As we had just had a cold spell this certainly helped as during November and early December 2007, the numbers don't rise until we have a some cold weather.  I might get down again in January and hope to see an even larger number.

Black Swan

This Black Swan was viewed a quite close range in Cley in Norfolk in 2006.
The Black Swan is relatively easy to see at quite a few locations in Britain.  It is not regarded as a "British species" as they originate from escaped captive Black Swans.  Originally Black Swans were an Australian species.
