Beep-beep! Car boat causes ripples at Arboretum

Hello, what's the quack? A swan appears to do a double-take as a new style of pedalo appears on Walsall Arboretum lake.

New car-boat at Walsall Arboretum

The cheerful green and yellow boat was spotted on the water at the weekend - the only car-boat in a fleet of familiar swan pedalos on Hatherton Lake.

The local wildlife had only just got used to the return last year of the swan-boats following a 20-year absence as part of a £7.9 million revamp of the popular venue.

This new boat on the block has clearly ruffled a few feathers.
