I stood on the bridge and saw this adult Black Neck Swan and Black Crown Night Heron staring at each other fiercely. It was about 6:45 pm and focusing is a bit difficult. I also took pictures of this Swan with wings stretched out fiercely against the Heron but they are badly out of focus. I didn't bring my 28-200mm lens so I couldn't photograph the whole body of that Swan.

It is a pity that I don't see any adult or grown up juvenille Black Neck Swan any more. They were probably killed by the virus or destroyed by the government.

I hope the government will put some Mandarin Ducks and American Wood Ducks in the pond.

Bernard. :-[ :-/ :'(
