The bird was seen swanning up Ber Street alone at around 6am.

The swan was taken to Whitlingham Lake where it happily joined some other swans.

It was important that the prized bird was taken to safety away from busy traffic as wild unmarked mute swans belong to the Crown.

You could say it was the real Hot Fuzz in Norwich, with just the one swan, actually.
