Hi Paul/All
This is not unusual behaviour on Kangaroo Island, SA as Black Swans move
onto wet pastured paddocks during late Autumn-Winter and Spring to feed on
green clover etc. They are in 100s sometimes and may be many kms from
river/lagoon. We even have 100-200 Pied Oystercatchers doing the same-albeit
maybe only several 100 m from the sea on coastal farmland.
Cheers

Subject: Black Swans in cow paddock
Earlier this week my wife saw a pair of Black Swans walking about in an open
grassy paddock with a mob of cattle. Nearest water was about 300m away. I've
only ever seen Swans in or adjacent to water (except when flying) and was
wondering if this was unusual behaviour.
