National Highways traffic officers rescued a swan this week - a lovely act of #kindness in the line of duty!
The #swan was waddling about on the M1, a busy motorway, during the mid-morning traffic.
The heroes of the day were Adrian Woods and Simon Quigley, and apparently it’s not the first time this has been an issue according to Adrian:
“Unfortunately, when the roads are wet or there is a haze over the carriageway, swans think it is a body of water and land on the road."
