Black Swan Cam is a joint venture by Dawlish Beach Cams and Dawlish Town Council to provide worldwide coverage of the Dawlish Black Swans. The camera can also move to focus on the weather, rough seas and any railway and shipping if needed. It's taken 12 months since the first meeting with the town councillors until the actual installation was complete.
Black Swan Cam is hosted by The Beach Bar in Dawlish.

The Black Swan is originally native to the West Coast of Australia and first recorded in the 17th Century. At the start of the 1900’s, a local Dawlish man emigrated to New Zealand but kept in touch with his family and friends in Dawlish but came back to visit a number of times.
On one of his visits in 1906 he bought with him the Black Swans as a gift to the town. Many people think that he wanted to give Dawlish something that would make it unique from other seaside towns and back in the early 1900’s a Black Swan certainly did that!
During the two World Wars, the Black Swans sadly died out and the reason for this we don’t really know. However, after the war, Captain Pitman, a game warden in Uganda, presented the town of Dawlish with a pair of Black Swans in memory of his parents as his father had been a County Councillor and loved the town. The Black Swans have lived here ever since and have long been the emblem of the town.
