This photo was taken this morning. How calm is the sea! We are having our third consecutive day of rain over here in Sunny Italy!

Nice photo , glenshena. I used to see a lot of them when i visited Dawlish in Devon.

Did not know Black swans originate from Australia until i googled today.

If you go onto STV news page you'll see more pics of the same swan.

Just down the road from us here on the Australian coast there are plenty of Black Swans but no white ones here that I can recall. Took this the other week.



BTW ten years ago there was a black swan topic on here that might interest. And a photo of one in flight which I've never seen before - looks spectacular. The topic has the same name as this: https://www.threetowners.net/forum/view ... 412#p70412

A wee bit of photoshopping hughie and you'd have a great loch ness monster there.

In the early 80's Im sure when I was in London there were black swans in St James Park. Are they still there? Maybe this one flew from there.
Never knew til then that there was such a bird as black swans far less that they were Australian.
