Hundreds of twitches have flocked to a cul-de-sac to catch a glimpse of an ultra-rare bird that unexpectedly blew in from America.
Around 300 bird watchers have crowded into the road in Shelf, West Yorks., where the scarlet tanager was first spotted yesterday (Mon) on a washing line.
It is thought the small yellow and black bird arrived in Britain after being blown off course by strong winds from a hurricane in North America.
And some of the assembled twitchers had travelled hundreds of miles to see the unusual species, which was last glimpsed in the UK back in 2014.
