Traffic officers rescued a cygnet after it waddled onto a the A1(M) near Doncaster.
A careless cygnet narrowly avoided an early swansong when it was rescued from a busy motorway.Concerned drivers first spotted the swan on the road's hard shoulder between junctions 37 and 38 on Thursday morning.
National Highways closed the southbound motorway while officers rescued the cygnet, which they named Boris Swanson. Team manager Lukas Cadman, who used a specially designed emergency "swan kit" to capture the bird, said: "There were a couple of worrying moments before we got to the swan. "Just before we put on a rolling roadblock to slow traffic, it started waddling into the road. Thankfully, we managed to get to it in time."
Mr Cadman's efforts earned him "a hiss" and "some flapping of wings" from the nervous bird, but he said "it was easier to get hold of than I thought it would be".
