Black swans

Have you ever seen black swans? No kidding - they are naturally black, not because they've spent hours in a coal bag. :) We especially liked their bright red beaks. Although the usual place for them to live is Australia, a park in Cesis also boasts of having one couple living in it.

We were feeding ducks with some bread and threw some pieces also closer to the swans, but, to our great surprise, they didn't seem to be interested at all. They left us and swam closer to the lady, who was weeding the nearby flower-beds. It turned out that she knew, what the swans wanted - she started throwing the weeds in the water, and the swans attacked them with such a speed, as if they hadn't eaten a whole week! Our conclusion - next time we'll see swans, we'll not feed them with bread but with some 'delicious' weeds.
