I have seen, & photographed these Swans on frequent visits to WWT Slimbridge but their combination of black, & white with sunshine make for a tough subject to capture properly. This is my best shot of them so far, for further information about these unusual birds click here.

Great capture, Phil. It's a little strange looking, but still has a sort of elegance. Very good shot.

Beautiful swans. I love their unusual appearance with the red and black and the lovely black beaks. That's a really fine photo of one of these S. American birds.

Wonderful shot Phlossie. It is a new species for me. I think it would be a good candidate for Fowl Play Magazine. I thought a Black Necked Swan needed a Blue Tailed Fly.

A very beautiful swan, I have never seen one like this before. We seem to only have black ones over here. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us. Lyn.
