Hello friends,
Todays post is about an amazing swan we saw while touring around the United Kingdom.
The day started off touring around like most days do when you’re in a new place. It was mid-afternoon at this point and it was a bit chilly and windy! We were walking around in a residential neighbourhood and looking at all the old mansion houses – there were a lot of them! haha
Eventually we came across this really cool house. Not a stone mansion like we have been seeing, but probably my favourite house yet. It looked like a house out of the hobbit movies with a thick straw roof!
It intrigued us so we went up to it. The backyard/side of house was full of thicker brush jutting out in all different directions. We saw that there was a pond in the backyard and there was movement in it! We kept trying to poke our heads over the fence and between the fence to see what was back there. That’s when we spotted the swans. There was a couple white ones but then this black beauty appeared.
This swan was the most gorgeous swan I have ever seen. Beautiful black feathers with a bright red beak. When it rustled its feathers and raised its wings, lush bright white feathers were revealed. This somehow amazed me even more. Such a beautiful animal.
It was hard getting any clear pictures because the brush was so thick, but I tried my best haha because my mom fell in love with this little guy. All she kept saying was “take a picture take a picture” and I replied with “I’m trying!” haha it was a comedy show to see.
Have you guys ever seen a swan that looks like this? Or one that isn’t white in colour? I would love to know in the comments below! 🙂

So years ago I was canoeing through northern Saskatchewan, in Canada and when we came around a bend in the river there were two enormous white swans just calming floating along. They were magnificent and I think they knew it,…. lol. They owned this place in the unspoiled nature and were so powerful yet peaceful. The scene is burnt into my memory in a very wonderful way. Anyways, seeing your pics reminded me immediately of that moment. Keep chasing your spectacular pics Phoenix because you have a gift for grabbing that amazing moment and sharing it. Nicely done.
