A bird rarely sighted in Ireland has made its home in north Belfast.

A black swan, native to Australia, has taken up residence at the Water Works on the Antrim Road, among the regular white swans and ducks.

It is thought the visitor is a young female, which may have escaped from a wildlife reserve or ornamental park.
