A majestic bird held up traffic this afternoon after deciding to swan about in the middle of the road.

Jamie Muldowney was driving through The Causeway in Potter Heigham when a swan brought the traffic to a halt.

He explained that it stood in the road just before the bridge for several minutes, causing cars to build up behind him.

A member of the public eventually escorted it out of danger.

Mr Muldowney said: "It’s not the usual traffic jam I’d expect on a Friday afternoon.

"It was really funny."
