That swan appears unflappable.
Swan cannot take off on land. It needs water.
Not true. Saw one do it on merchants quay one night. Think it scared the life out of a driver coming towards it.
If it’s not swan thing, its another ………… I’ll get my coat.
That quacked me up
The first of the Gardaí’s social welfare checkpoints didn’t quite go according to plan.
