但他們在 2018 年的同一天還拍到了一隻外形非常相似的鴨子，觸發了交通攝影機的超速警報系統。

更重要的是，鴨子兩次的速度都是一樣的。

當地人一直想知道這隻長著羽毛的怪物是否試圖打破它自己的個人速度記錄，甚至有人猜測警方正在捉弄科尼茲的居民。

但當局表示，交通攝影機每年都會進行測試，拍攝的照片不會被竄改。

可以肯定地說，目前並沒有關於鴨子（或任何其他動物）在公共道路上超速行駛的實際法律，因此綠頭鴨不會面臨任何刑事指控。

A traffic camera in Switzerland has caught the same lawbreaker travelling almost twice the speed limit on two occasions - but the culprit was not a human in a car - it was a duck.

Local police say they spotted the mallard (a wild duck) going 52km per hour in a 30km zone on 13 April this year.

But they also caught a very similar-looking duck triggering the traffic camera's speed alert system on the same date in 2018.

What's more, the duck was going the same speed on both occasions.

Locals have been wondering if the feathered felon is trying to break its own personal speed record, and some have even speculated that the police are attempting to prank the residents of Koeniz.

But authorities say traffic cameras are tested each year and pictures cannot be tampered with.

Safe to say there are no actual laws about ducks (or any other animals) speeding on public roads, so the mallard will not face any criminal charges.

In 2019, traffic officers in London had two uninvited assistants helping them keep an eye on the A102 - also known as Brunswick Road.

They were even given names.

A spokesperson from Transport for London said: 'Our cameras usually give us a bird's eye view of traffic across London, but we'd like to thank our new colleagues Graeme and Steve for helping out at beak times'.

In 2023, Rodney the emu was spotted on a doorbell camera near his home in Kent after he had escaped.

Police officers were called to help with his rescue after he looked like he wanted to visit his neighbour's property.

Rodney's owner Sarah said she was 'delighted to have Rodney back home again'.

She said the six-month-old bird escaped after one of her children let him out of the garden by mistake.

This parrot decided to play peekaboo with a CCTV camera in Brazil.

The traffic monitoring company posted the footage from a camera on a highway in Curitiba on social media, calling it a 'special visit'.
