Hilarious clip shows swan popping into Islay shop for a wee gander

A Scots shop worker has gone viral after sharing a hilarious clip of a young swan popping into her store for a wee gander.

The 34-second clip shows the gallus swan toddle into the Co-op shop at Port Ellen on Islay like it owns the place.

All the while the two staff members can be heard nervously laughing in the background.

One of them can be heard asking "can they fly?", as the bird approaches the counter they've taken refuge behind.

They joke that he's "going for the sweets", before being forced to shut the door of the counter as the young swan - it still has its grey feathers - tries to head round to join them.

Posting the humorous clip on social media, Irene Gillies, wrote: "You bump into everyone when you’re in the Co on Islay."

It's quickly gone viral, racking up hundreds of thousands of views, with people flocking to comment.

One Facebook user joked: "I would like some bread please, and can you put it on my bill?'"

While another added: "The commentary is hilarious!"

One Twitter user quipped: "Swanning about like a boss."
