Footage taken by private television broadcaster Polsat shows a family of goosanders, a medium-sized duck species, waddling across Wisłostrada, one of Warsaw's busiest roads.

Police and city patrol officers are seen moving a traffic sign to stop the flow of cars and guiding the family of 13 birds to the other side of the street.

Goosanders at this time of year migrate from Warsaw’s Royal Łazienki Park to the Vistula River, where they raise their ducklings.
