The Black Swan comes from Australia but turns up occasionally in the wild in the UK as an escape from wildfowl collections. It has bred in the wild in the UK and ten years ago there were 10 pairs recorded breeding.
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.
