EDITORS COMMENTS
Mirror, mirror on the lake, who's the fairest swan of them all? It's me, the elegant and stylish Black Swan! Preening my feathers to perfection in this picturesque setting at The Groynes in Christchurch, New Zealand. Introduced to this beautiful country back in the 1860s, I have become quite a common sight in lakes and ponds throughout New Zealand. And why wouldn't I be? With my sleek black plumage contrasting against the crystal-clear water, I am a true showstopper! Here you can see me indulging in some much-needed self-care routine - grooming every feather with utmost precision. After all, being fabulous requires constant maintenance! My graceful neck bends effortlessly as I reach every nook and cranny of my stunning plumage. As an Australasian beauty icon, it's important for me to maintain impeccable hygiene. Soaking myself in this refreshing water not only cleanses away any dirt but also keeps me cool during those hot summer days. So next time you visit The Groynes or any other scenic spot around New Zealand's lakes and ponds, keep an eye out for me – your friendly neighborhood Black Swan ready to steal your heart with my charm and elegance!
