The other day i was in town and bought some important things. After i was finished, i decided to go down to the bird pond and watch some birds.

And lo to my behold when there was a big black swan there. I just said WOW. Anyway i had my camera with me and took some pics of the swan.

These swans usually live in Australia. It might have escaped from a local Zoo that we have here in Blekinge.

I fed the swan some bread and managed it to come VERY close. Photo below.



Later, the swan came up on land and walked around in the green grass. I baby talked the swan a few times.



Then by some reason it wanted me away. It hissed slightly and started to give chase. I ws just "sorry big swan".



Anyway, It was really amazing seeing this cool animal there.

I didnt take any video clips of it, but may in the future.

That's a monkey you fool :} The common Australian Long-necked Air Monkey!

*giggle*

Oh, pretty. I've never seen the black ones before.

Haha, neat-o! I didn't even know there were black swans.

Where Fredricksam lives, there aren't! That swan has to be an import, most likely from the zoo.

Still, it is a beautiful bird.

heh, I'll be hissing as well if someone baby talked at me.

His/her black feathers and cute face makes me want to pet it and run away.
