A lane was shut off on the M25 due to a swan on the road.

There have been reports of an animal on the road, believed to be a swan, that caused delays this morning.

There was queuing traffic and a lane towards the roundabout was closed on the exit slip road on the M25 anticlockwise near junction 20 at Watford Road by Kings Langley.

It is believed that the delays began around 8.30pm, and it reopened at around 9.20am.

The swan has since been removed from the road.
