  7. Hi Carole... Wonderful photo's of the these two beauties, and a beautiful setting to!!
    Not always true from some people point of view, but I think the Cormorant is a interesting bird , almost prehistoric looking : )

  16. You have a lot of ground(or should that be water) to cover Carole. Love the Black Swans as a change from out white ones.

  17. With us, you see a pair of black swans in the wild. Most are plain white. Other couples are usually black swans at petting zoos or private ponds in people.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
