I took the first photo three years ago but touched it up just this weekend with a non-broken Photoshop. I was driving from Wellington to Auckland and I saw the swans so stopped to take a photo. How could I not – I had never seen black swans before! They flew over to inspect me and swam about in front of me for a few minutes and let me take some photos.
Seeing how I love swans, here is another photo I took of a swan ducking for food on the Leicester River, when I visited Leicester for the day back in 2005. Not seen: all the disgusting rubbish I photoshopped out because it was yuck!
