Is it my eyesight or has that Swan got a kink in it's neck? Although I like to see them an introduced species never creates the same interest for me.

I thought the same Jack. I think I read somewhere that in "our" swans a kink in the neck is possibly a sign of lead ingestion, usually from fishing line weights.Jacksparrow wrote: Sat Sep 12, 2026 6:43 pm Is it my eyesight or has that Swan got a kink in it's neck?
