Spotting police officers on the beat around Belfast isn't an unusual sight.
But spotting police officers escorting a swan on a busy North Belfast road is something you don't see everyday.
Sinead Mackie and her friends were driving along the Antrim Road on Friday morning when they spotted two PSNI officers escorting an escaped Swan back to the Waterworks.
Sinead said: "We couldn’t believe it, it was the funniest thing we have ever seen."
In a statement PSNI North Belfast said: "The swan in question was posing risk to itself and road users on the Antrim Road. Highly trained officers were able coax the swan onto the footpath, they then walked the swan back to the waterworks.
"The swan was unharmed by the ordeal however it's presence on a main road ruffled a few feathers.
"Officers involved praised locals for keeping a birds eye view on the incident."
A Police spokesman added: "We are glad the swan returned to the waterworks safely and avoided falling fowl of the law."
