Today (Tuesday) was ‘eviction day’ for the infamous black swan that set up home on the waters of the Avon in Stratford nine months ago. It is a Cygnus atratus, the black swan with a red bill is native to Western Australia; whereas Stratford’s native swans are Mute, and known for their white plummage. Locals had christened the black swan ‘Reggie’ but to swan keeper Cyril Bennis he was known as Mr Termintor - so called because his aggressive nature. Sadly Mr T had recently attacked and driven away a male Mute swan - and moved in on its mate. But don’t worry, he’s going to be rehomed in Dawlish, Devon - where there is a flock of black swans.
