Swan falls for whirlybird
IT’S A change from the ugly duckling fairy tale...the swan is in search of a mate and has fallen for a helicopter.
Every time it lands at the airstrip next to the Les Mielles golf club, where Whooper lives on Jersey, he flies to meet it.
Experts say he is lovestruck and his wings have now been clipped for his own safety.
Club official Danielle Le Brun said: “He seems very happy but I would like to find him a female white swan – it would stop him flying around the airport when his feathers have grown back.”
