@MarthaTheMaid South Asia. I am sure there are lots of birds here that might not be common in your parts. But you really have to excuse my ignorance on the subject. My relationship with birds of the feathered kind ended in primary school! 😒

They are so elegant. We have a few couples that like to stop by the farm lake on their way migrating. They are not the friendliest of birds. They prefer a small cove by the marsh, and they do not like visitors. They run off the ducks and the geese and the herons. When I am in the boat fishing and happen upon their little spot they act so indignant. And its amazing how all those little ones can disappear under their momma's wings. So I do try not to disturb them, if I see them I fish somewhere else.

@PoetryNEmotion yes that are invasive from Europe. Mute swans were brought here by European settlers during the 1870s to adorn parks, gardens and estates.
