Black Swan isn't yet considered to have a self-sustaining population in Britain.

Which is bizarre to say the least...as there are more breeding Black Swans in Sussex alone than there are Golden Pheasants in the whole country...! One day we'll be able to have 'em! ;)
 
Hi-jacking this thread as usual ... the (pinioned) Black Swans here have just started sitting, a few days earlier than usual. Out of curiosity, when do they nest in Sussex ?
