[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Black-necked Swan, Cygnus melancoryphus is the largest waterfowl native to South America. Males are 115-140 cm (45-55 in) and 4.5-6.7 kg (10-14.8 lbs); females are 102-124 cm (40-49 in) and 3.5-4.4 kg (7.7-9.7 lbs)

This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 2,100,000 kmē. It has a large global population estimated to be 26,000-100,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2002). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Hola Ferran,
una bella ed interessante immagine di questo gruppo cigni, bellissima luce e buon contrasto di colori, la prospettiva di ripresa non č ideale, ma le condizioni di ripresa erano obbligate ed il risultato č ottimo con una buona sensazione di dinamicitā
Grazie e complimenti
Buon fine di settimana
Maurizio
