BLACK SWAN

Hurry along to The Mere at Ellesmere to see our newest visitor! This morning at approx 7;30am, I was working away, looked up and saw a black swan just off Moscow Island!! These are native to Australia & (I think) New Zealand. However, I don't think it has flown all the way! Whilst being a bit shy, this swan has come onto dry land by The Boathouse restaurant..so not too timid. The cameras that are in the mere can be moved around and "zoomed" in and out, so call into the Visitor Centre and use the joystick camera contol to see this unusual visitor. (apologies for the out of focus photo - I'm no David Bailey!)
