\n The swan was spotted by passers-by at the Audley Range and Chester Street roundabout near the Noorul Islam Mosque on Tuesday, September 30.\n<\/p>\n
\n A worker from the local halal butchers kindly stepped in to assist the mightily relieved young swan and shepherd it to the side of the road and onto a patch of grass next to the estate.\n<\/p>\n
\n The bird, yet to fully shed its grey juvenile plumage and emerge as a beautiful white-feathered swan, had managed to stray more than 400 metres from the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, where a number of swans are regularly spotted.\n<\/p>\n
\n Coincidentally, it came just hours before Swansea City, who are nicknamed The Swans, kick off against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park in the Championship.\n<\/p>\n
\n Last month, we reported how, during the past few months, a bevy of swans had settled on the canal at Eanam.\n<\/p>\n
\n The video footage was filmed and shared by Naseem Khan.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “Not something you see every day in Audley. Thankfull,y people were around to help.”\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n Nature lover, Kabir Alam has documented the swans since they nested on the canal,\u00a0and he had watched as the cygnets made their first movements in the water earlier in the spring.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said he has been visiting the swans regularly to feed them, and they were also being watched over by another resident who lives nearby.\n<\/p>\n
