THERE are delays on the Spur Road this morning due to a swan on the carriageway.

Police were called to the southbound carriageway, just after Blackwater junction, just after 7.10am.

A spokesperson for Dorset Police said the swan was 'wandering in and around the road.'

Part of the carriageway was cordoned off by police.

Traffic also came to a standstill.

The RSPCA were called but then cancelled as officers caught the swan.

Traffic remains slow but moving.
