A swan that hit power lines caused a power cut affecting almost 9,000 homes in County Fermanagh.

NIE says all customers affected by the power cut in the Enniskillen area have now had their power restored.

The dead swan was later retrieved from the roof of a petrol station, reports BBC News NI's Julian Fowler.

Customers in the Ennskillen, Belleek and Derrygonnelly areas were affected after the incident which happened about lunchtime on Friday.

NIE said the line came down and caught the back of a vehicle on the Loughshore Road.
