Black Swan |
Sightings
There are Black Swans in Narrabri (New South Wales) and we also saw them in the Geraldton area (Western Australia). In March 2006 a pair of Black Swans rested at our neighbour's billabong before heading on (see photos below).
Several sightings in the Narrabri area after the significant rainfalls of May/June 2007. A small number stayed around Narrabri Lake throughout the winter of 2008.
