Mute Swans © Laurie Campbell
"The Tweed estuary at Berwick is one of the largest herds of Mute Swans to be found in Britain, especially between late July and September.
Their numbers dwindle in the winter months but those that remain are then joined by Goldeneye, Red-Breasted Merganser, Pochard and other wildfowl."

They are, on my way to work (when I go) there are often as many as 200 sitting in the estuary. There are a few black ones too but I haven't ever seen one of them yet, hopefully I will one day :o)
BEAUTIFUL INDEED!
The photographer who took this pic (Laurie Campbell) is a local man, there is link in my side bar to his site if you want to see more. His pictures are just wonderful.
