Went to JCB Rocester, parked looking at one of lakes having our lunch. Black Swans came to see us, very pleased to see all 3 in same area. After taking photos took little food for one on grass, before got to it we’re swamped by seagulls.

A beautiful photo Jean. Thanks for sharing.xxx
Thank you Jean. I have never seen a black swan in real life. Seen hundreds of seagulls though!
I had never seen one, until stopped there for short rest when out on motorbike years ago. There are about 8 lakes, and when spoke to man who looks after them told there are 78 different species of water birds on lakes. It’s nice place to stop, benches overlooking lakes and water fountain, all open to everyone, sometimes there’s ice cream van parked on road. Jean x
That's a beautiful photo. We used to have a black swan on Abberton Reservoir near Colchester, but I haven't seen one for years. Glad yours are still thriving. xxx
What a lovely photo, Lucky you to see those swans. Pity about the seagulls though.
Very regal, trying to remember the cathedral/abbey, where the swans come and pull on a bell to be fed.
Magnificent Creatures thank u for sharing, I have never seen or heard of Black Swans. Bernardine

what a beautiful picture.I have never seen a black swan!You have made my day-thank you
What a lovely picture Jean, i too have never seen a black swan, thank you for sharing x
Lovely to see them elsewhere! We have them permanently here in Dawlish in South Devon! I get excited when i see white ones now! Thank you for posting!
That’s interesting, how long have you had them? Been years since visited Dawlish, don’t think there then. How many, are they breeding? Jean x
hello Jean, I have lived here nearly 30 years and they have had them since before then! Yes they are breeding and i think at present we have 4 or 5- we lost a young one recently to a muscular problem and a few others have gone to breed else where! Sadly have lost a few to careless dog owners who have allowed their dogs to attack them! Will get a photo next time i walk into town x
Beautiful creature , what a great view whilst enjoying your lunch 😍
Thanks, yes usually sit on a bench, but nearest was occupied, was bit windy and can be problem if other waterfowl come wanting bit of our food! Jean
I saw half a dozen at a place called Dawlsh in Devon they are famous for them. thanks for the beautiful photo x

Aww love your photo of Black Swan 🙂
I really like the black swan pictures.
Thank you for sharing your photo! Never saw one before! That must have been quite a thrill.
had a couple of black ones drop in to our kocal flooded salt quarries a few years ago . Had young as well but cannot remember the colour of the babies. Not been there for long time but we were always having strange birds arrive in passing and move on after a few days .
beautiful 🐞
What a beautiful bird! It’s many years since I last saw a black swan, thank you for sharing your picture x
