    Black Swan in Cumbria

    Hi there, I was having a look at Tindale Tarn in Cumbria this afternoon and there was a Black Swan present. Would this be an escaped bird? Are they spotted often in the North? Any information regarding them would be great as they aren't covered in any of my bird books. Cheers, Stew
