Black Swan

Post by Pune » Tue Apr 15, 2025 1:03 pm

An unusual visitor to the River Avon in Stratford upon Avon this spring, we have seen them before but not on a regular basis.

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

What a coincidence!

We had a couple of days in the area - Billesley Manor Hotel to see Alfie Boe and Michael Ball at the NEC and also did a boat trip on the Avon at Stratford and saw a black Swan, probably this very bird.

Also went to the Black Swan / Mucky Duck pub

That is a coincidence, that image was taken just over the road from The Dirty Duck pub, my local when working at The RSC.
The Swan has been around for a few weeks now so probably the same bird.
Billesley Manor eh, very nice indeed slogen51 :thumb:
Cheers
