The pair of ducks in the second photograph, the flamingos and the black swans aren't really native to the UK, Malar. Our native swans are white although we do occasionally have black swans arriving nowadays. Slimbridge has foreign species as well as native ones.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-43395826763496797852016-10-14T08:05:01.487+00:002016-10-14T08:05:01.487+00:00Amazing photos of ducks and swan!

It is always great to see your photos of the wildlife you see, and it gives us a more rounded picture of you both too:) I particularly love the photo of the black swans, I have never seen any.
