Although the Swannery population is made up of Mute Swans the occasional visitor from outside appears to join the residents. In this case a Black Swan, a native of Western Australia, which has escaped from a bird collection elsewhere has found that Abbotsbury is a good place for an easy life.
Feeding time at the Swannery is a boisterous affair although some Swans are not prepared to wait and go straight to the source.
