Birdwatchers are flocking to the Isles of Scilly after a twitcher filmed a “mega rare” species of heron, the first time it has been recorded in the UK.

The great blue heron was caught on camera by keen enthusiast Ashley Fisher from a bird hide on a nature reserve. He described the bird as “striking“, with a long heavy bill and maroon patches at the end of its wings.
