Black SwanBlack SwanThere be a black swan down at Hayesden Lake at the moment. It's a solitary bird, I think it may be an escapee from a breeding programme. Don't swans have life long partners?
It is a beautiful bird. Lets see if this pic works. And I also think I have seen an Egyptian Goose down there as well. I may be wrong but these 2 birds were not listed in any of my bird books! ****Emma****

Helping to give ex-battery hens a fresh start! http://thevintagebelles.blogspot.co.uk/ I'm such a geek - I love bird watching. I was luck to see the goose today again, and fortunate to get that picture! I also saw a great crested grebe. Reason I'm so chuffed to see these different birds is that it's usually mallards ruling the waters here.
I must invest in some binoculars!!! ****Emma****

Can you identify Olpolls Ducks then in the other birds section?
They look a bit mallardy! http://www.freshstartforhens.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
