This is the moment a brave swan took a daring walk - by strolling into oncoming traffic on a busy motorway.

The adventurous swan was caught on camera waddling along the left lane of the carriageway, causing cars around to slow down drastically and apply hazard lights.

A motorist spotted the animal whilst travelling on the M62, which runs from Liverpool to Hull, via Manchester and Leeds. He captioned the video: “Just a normal day on the M62. Swan anyone?”

The unfazed animal caused brief traffic delays to some of the thousands of people travelling during the Christmas period.
