Cygnus atratus

Swan

Australischer Trauerschwan

The Australian Black Swan and the Mute Swan probably come from the same lineage. Both graceful birds carry their long neck in an s-curve. Because of their sombre appearance, it was believed in earlier times that they were in league with the devil. Many Black Swans were killed due to this superstition. Diessen, Ammersee, Germany
