A swan has been detained by police after being spotted wandering around a city centre.
Norfolk Constabulary were called to Orford Hill in Norwich at 07:00 BST following reports the bird was in the road.
PC Clarke and PC Fox flew to the scene and swiftly caught the swan before taking it to nearby Whitingham Broad.
A police spokesperson said the swan appeared fit and healthy and "happily joined some other swans".
