    They have Black Swans at a garden I used to visit at Hodnet Hall in Shropshire. Unfortunately the garden changed owners and it's only open on rare occasions these days.:snork:

          Well, I guess it's in what department you're talking about, Victoria!!! Big "A" I find is usually what I get called, among other things:heehee:, whereas Aesculus gets called good names!!!:snork:

                  The first and only time I saw a black swan was in the Açores in 1993 when we went there for our 25th anniversary. As it was so long ago I don't have a photo on the computer but have a picture I painted of my black swan with Woo's white swan five years ago ...

                    Great pics, Bilbo, although it had me wondering as to whether or not the Black Swan was actually with the White Swans or they were "escorting him/her off the premises":snork:
