Confused Swan gets stuck in middle of busy Leeds roundabout for hours

A confused swan somehow found it's way onto the middle of a busy Leeds roundabout - where it remained for over two hours.

A video was posted on social media earlier today which shows the swan on the York Road roundabout in Seacroft.

A Leeds man, Dylan York, had come out of Tesco Extra when he had seen the swan in the middle of the roundabout.

He posted on a local Facebook group: "Swan loose on Tesco's roundabout. Help is on the way (Yorkshire Swan Rescue) also police to slow traffic down.

"So please be careful driving round and near the Swan. As seen on video, the swan seems to be in discomfort."

The video was recorded at 10.30am this morning, while another eye witness said that she had seen the swan on the roundabout at around 8am - meaning the swan had remained there for over two hours and said to be distressed throughout.

Many across social media had asked: "How on earth has it got there?!"

Eye witnesses have confimed the Swan was rescued by Yorkshire Swan Rescue shortly after this video was captured.
