A very rare exotic bird called the Bee-eater has been photographed on the Isles of Scilly.
The Southern European breeding bird known for its brightly coloured feathers was pictured on St Mary s on Sunday by local man Robin Mawer.
The birds can fly to England from northern Africa in warm southerly winds as they migrate to Europe in Spring. Nothing quite matches the fabulous birds, a British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) spokesman said.
