One of a kind (Cygnus atratus)

The Black Swan is an Australian endemic and the only swan native to the continent. It is also the only swan species that is not white.

We had turned off the coast road and headed in to Wilson's Inlet, where we stopped at Morley Beach, an important shorebird nesting area.
