Cygnus atratus
The Australian black swan (cygnus atratus) is, as its name implies, a native of Australia. It is very rarely found in the wild in Europe. However, the swan pictured below has appeared mysteriously in an Irish lake and is to be found enjoying the company of the resident cob and pen.
Eric Dempsey of Birds Ireland said: "Yes, it seems that your Black Swan is quite at home in County Down. No doubt an escapee from a collection somewhere. Collectors keep their birds from flying by clipping their flight feathers but of course these grow again and so many birds can then fly.
Black Swans are non-migratory so would never ever occur naturally in Europe. Still, they are very beautiful additions to a lake."
Richard James, Wildlife Advisor of Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, told us: "There are many black swans that have escaped from captivity. There have been reports of a few pairs breeding in the UK. There doesn't seem to be a problem with black swans and our native wildfowl but, as with all introduced species, it is worth monitoring."
