A black swan that originates from Australia. In the UK, you usually see them in wildlife parks but rarely elsewhere. Here it is with a few wigeons that come over to the UK from overseas in the winter.
A couple of tufted ducks which are medium sized diving birds.
A cormorant preparing to take flight. They remind me of pterodactyls.

Thank you.
Beautiful photos of waterfowl on your pond! Those swans are so elegant and I agree that cormorants look rather prehistoric!

Oh wow! That's a long flight. Escaped from the zoo perhaps?
I think perhaps they were brought over here and released or escaped from captivity.
