It is fascination, I know...

There are some birds, common they may be, that keep on fascinating me. One of them is the Black Swan. I was well positioned to keep an eye on the Back-shouldered Kite far away and high on a dead tree but my attention was totally absorbed by this Black Swan accomplishing the ritual of preening in the early morning sun, just in front of me.
