In 1864, the Australian Black Swan was introduced to New Zealand as an ornamental waterfowl, and populations are now common on larger coastal or inland lakes. Black Swans have also naturally flown to New Zealand, leading scientists to consider them a native rather than exotic species. Before the arrival of the Maori in New Zealand, a subspecies of the Black Swan known as the New Zealand Swan existed, but was apparently hunted to extinction. . . . . . Taken with Panasonic FZ28. My thanks for your views and opinions :)

A really beautiful bird, Lyn. I love the way he stands out against the silvery surface of the water.

Beautiful picture Lyn. The black swan looks so elegant and the surface of the water is very good indeed.
Maybe if your swan and my swan got together we could have striped swans?

Beautiful and excellent Lyn! I like the fluff of its feathers and the water looks so wonderful around it!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
