There’s been black swan at Jarrow slacks for a while. But I haven’t seen it lately.

The black swan is native to Western Australia, some were introduced into the UK as a novelty in 1800s.

We had a Black swan in the Berwick estuary for several years, along with a Whooper and the second largest herd of Mutes, back in the early 2000s
