Black Swan Cygnus atratus Lea Valley London UK winter


"Black Swans are found throughout Australia with the exception of Cape York Peninsula, and are more common in the south. They prefer larger salt, brackish or fresh waterways and permanent wetlands, requiring 40m or more of clear water to take off. The British Ornithologists Union categorises the Black Swan as E*, in other words an introduction or escapee that have bred in the wild in Britain."
