This is the birder most fowl moment a low-flying duck puts police in a flap after being clocked by a traffic speed camera doing 52kph.

Astonished cops in Koniz, Bern canton, Switzerland, discovered the image on 10th May when they checked what had triggered the radar trap in an suburban low speed zone.

Pictures from 13th April show the speedy bird zooming through the 30kph trap at almost double the speed limit.

Police released the image to warn motorists just how sensitive and inescapable their cameras are.

But the speed snap follows a similar case involving a pigeon in Bocholt, Western Germany, in February 2019.

Police said the pigeon was flying at 45 kph (28 mph) in a 30 kph (18.6-mph) zone.

The snap automatically triggered a EUR 25 (GBP 21.5) fine but baffled police could not work out where to send it.

A city police spokesperson said: "Whether the speedy bird wants to pay the EUR 25 fine, and above all how, remains an open question."

Other bizarre snaps have involved even more unusual images.

In Moers, western Germany, a dog doing a poo on the pavement ended up in a speed camera snap triggered by a passing car doing 42kph.
