All in a days work, and everything ended well!
I'm sure that for those employed in the police service every day at work brings different and often unexpected calls for help/assistance.So without 'further ado' this post brings something completely different, and I hope you enjoy the read.
There are just six species of swans in the Cygnus genus of the large waterbird family Anatidae. Sometimes, seven species are described, with the Bewick’s swan sometimes classified separately as the Eurasian sister species to the Tundra swan.
The UK is home to four of six species of these gracious birds, with the Mute swan unsurprisingly being the most common.
"A swan has been rescued after being seen on busy road and reunited with family at Hilsea Lido in Portsmouth, South East England.
The stricken creature was seen near the roundabout approach on London Road in Hilsea last week. Police were able to bring the white bird to safety, away from oncoming traffic.
It was then put back in the water with its family at Hilsea Lido. Portsmouth Police were able to write a tongue in cheek response after the animal was rescued.
The force said: “This evening the team responded to a report of a concern for welfare of an animal in the middle of the road. The following description was given: ‘Its about two feet tall, long slender neck, kinda orange and black bill. Anything else?... Well It’s a Swan’.
"We are pleased to say we managed to locate and reunite the Swan with its family at the Hilsea Lido.”

These large waterbirds have featured in human myth, folklore and legend for many thousands of years and have a rather regal position in British culture courtesy of their ownership by the British Crown (in the case of Mute swans, at least).
This ancient tradition dates back to 1482 and culminates each year in the practice of Swan Upping, an annual ceremony in which Mute swans on the River Thames are ringed and released.
