Wordless Wednesday ~ Black Swans nesting in Lagoon Park, Rockingham, Perth


During my recent holiday in Perth, I was delighted to stumble upon a pair of Black Swans nesting in this Lagoon Park.  I hope you'll enjoy these pictures of the park as well as the pictures of the nesting Black Swans.

      Graceful as well. I enjoyed looking at it picking up the weeds to build up the nest just by using her beak and neck.
