Man helps rescue stranded bird on busy road

In a series of photos posted by ‘Limerick Animal Welfare’, a man by the name of Jack can be seen guiding a stranded swan off a busy road in Ireland.

“Jack give us a call yesterday to say a swan was on the bridge and what could be done to help. After getting some information on the condition of the swan we talked to Jack about the possibility of either lifting or guiding the swan to the slipway and back to the safety of the water,“ Limerick Animal Welfare wrote on Facebook.

“Jack realised we were 25 miles away and the swan was in danger for traffic so he guided the swan to safety and made sure traffic stopped to allow the bird to cross the street. It took time but as you can see from the photos taken by Deirdre Power, this gentleman successfully returned the swan back onto the river.”

What a hero!
