- This short doco captures different life stages of wild Black Swans from the period of them nesting, to the cygnets growing up into juveniles. I filmed this in two locations in Victoria and New South Wales in Australia over a 12 month period.
I hope you enjoy this short doco!
📖 Notes:
- Shot in Mason Park Wetlands (New South Wales) and Wyndham (Victoria), Australia.
- Footage was captured over a 12 month period.
- Black Swans at nesting sites were observed from a long distance with a super telephoto zoom lens (Sony 200-600mm + 1.4x teleconverter) with an equivalent range of 840-1260mm.
- To learn more about ethical birding guidelines, refer to local guidelines such as the BirdLife Australia Ethical Birdwatching Guidelines
Black Swan | Cygnus atratus
"Unmistakable large black swan with a red bill. When swimming this species is almost entirely black. Wings show extensive white flight feathers when flying. Juveniles are similar but dark-gray. In Australia, compare with Magpie Goose, which has white belly, and white underwing with black tips. Typically found along inland waterways, rivers, sewage ponds, and coastal lagoons and inlets. Sometimes flocks together in enormous numbers on large wetlands." (eBird)
