This is the worlds smallest Swan folks, & it's a resident in South America, & the Falkland Islands a small bleak British outpost with some amazing wildlife. :o) Fortunately I didn't have to travel all the way to Port Stanley to photograph it. :o)

This Swan feeds by sifting water, & mud through it's upturned bill, so keep that bread in your bag folks ! Both sexes appear alike, & a breeding pair build a cone shaped nest lined with down. Apparently their name is derived from their call, unfortunately I couldn't find a web page with a sound link .. cos - cor - oo . :o)

Although technically classified as a Swan they have Duck oops Goose like qualities too which suggests they could be the missing link between these two waterfowl !

Will all students please have a paper prepared on this subject ready for next Mondays lesson, okay the lecture's over, class dismissed. Bossy Phlossy says have a good weekend, & enjoy this now topical music link from an old British Band * 10cc * :o)
