I saw these in Western Australia, and again, oddly, I found one on the coast of Norfolk, England, which apparently had been there for some years. Unfortunately Black Swans do not appear on our Southern African drop-down list. Pity, because among my own photographic collection is a Red-whiskered Bulbul native to Asia which came to my bird table for a number of weeks. |
