Black Swans



We always think about black swans as being rather unusual in the UK, but in this neck of the woods they're quite common. We've seen many in the last few weeks - in Perth, Freemantle, Auckland, Wellington, Queenstown and now here in Christchurch. This time, though, the parent was being followed by five little cygnets (only four in photo). It may be difficult for you to make them all out, but I rather liked the sketch-like appearance of the photo, taken in full day-light, by the way.
