Close Up of a Black Swan

The following image is of a Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) a water bird which is native to Australia. I took this photograph on a recent visit to Jawbone Reserve. This particular Swan was used to human contact as it had no qualms about coming very close. In fact it came so close I had to step back to get the shot in focus.
