Footage shows the moment a swan waddles through the middle of O'Connell Bridge as cars whizz passed on either side

A bold swan was spotted last night dodging traffic in Dublin city centre as cars whizzed by on Wednesday night.

The footage was recorded by a worried onlooker who passed the brave bird on O'Connell bridge.

Open to pedestrians since 1792 O'Connell bridge has offered an amazing view of Dublin for generations.

On Wednesday night one bystander was baffled when he witnessed a swan taking in the view on the Dublin bridge.

The video shows the swan standing in the middle of the landmark without a care in the world.

One onlooker said "I had never seen a swan on the busy bridge like that before."

The swan can be seen avoiding the busy road by remaining on the Luas lines as traffic goes by.

The Swan seems cool, calm and collected as the world goes by him.

As much as he might have enjoyed himself lets hope he gets back home safely.
