Beautiful Birds (31): Black Swans ... and Flamingo update



I spotted these Black Swans (Cygnus atratus) at Snape some days ago, just as the light was fading. As a breed, they come from Australia. You can read more about them here on the RSPB site.


The RSPB South Suffolk Tweet for  21 October mentions that there was still a Flamingo around in the county [ ].  


These three (above) were not seen in Suffolk, but I thought they would add a bit of colour!
