I went for a stroll in my local park in South West London and much to my surprise on one of the lakes there were a pair of black swans amongst the usual collection of mute swans, ducks, cootes, Canada geese etc. Not surprisingly they were creating a lot of interest. They were slightly smaller than mute swans and had with red beaks with a single white band. I have been visiting this park for 50 years or so and have never seen black swans there before. Does anyone know where they might have come from? Might they have migrated from a colder climate, if so how long might they stay?
