The Black Swan is not a native bird to the UK being found in Australia and New Zealand. They are however commonly kept in captive collections from which birds have escaped. A number of instances of breeding in the wild in the UK have been recorded.
I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
