Black-necked Swans

The black-necked swan is not native to Scandinavia or Europe, but comes from South America. However, we have a couple of them in a bird sanctuary in my town. These and other rare birds live within  fences at one end of the lake; while wild birds are free to come and go as they like.

Looking forward to seeing what delicate things everyone else found,
