Off topic: vagrant Black Swan

[David Rees <>]

Yes you see them from time to time in the 'wild' in UK and northern Europe.  Not sure they are breeding in the wild yet but they live for a long time as escapees from wildfowl collections.  They often from my experience associate with Mute Swans.  May in time add to the list of wild breeding introductions - like the Egyptian geese in the south of England, as well as the Mandarin ducks there see. https://vimeo.com/77962878
