Irish 'Supervet' Noel Fitzpatrick has lived up to his name, after rescuing a swan in south Dublin on Tuesday.
The host of Channel 4's 'Supervet' was in the capital for an interview about his new book, when he spotted a swan dodging traffic on a busy road in Donnybrook.
He managed to stop traffic and carry it in his jacket to the canal nearby.

"Having experienced many Swan rescues down the years I knew I could help".

He also tweeted a video of the rescue, telling the swan: "We're home mate, it's fine.
"Job done - job well done!"
