Swans - breeding again?

[brian fleming <>]

At Banyule Swamp (Heidelberg, Vic) - the four young Black Swans are now 
showing black wing-feathers. They seem to have been exiled to the south 
end, away from their parents.
The old birds are by the old nest; one was adding plant material to it, 
at one point standing on it and reaching down to pull a bundle of brown 
plant stems up onto the rim.  The nest is now very high.  I have not 
heard of Black Swans attempting a second nesting after rearing a first 
brood.
