Born on the eve of winter..... (3)

A birth on the eve of winter is a great oddity among birds ! But on the 1st of november 2018, 2 black swan chicks were born as you could already see and read in my 2 pictures below.

At this moment, the situation is sad. One chick and one parent swan were recently bitten death by an aggressive dog from a walker who let him run loose in the nature reserve !!!!! (information from local forester)

Fortunately, the remaining chick seems to be in good health and underwent already a color change. The first black markings become slowly visible in its plumage, as you can see in my picture.

Dutch name : Zwarte zwaan
German name : Trauerschwan, auch Schwarzschwan genannt
Latin name : Cygnus atratus
