Twitchers sent Twitter into meltdown after an extremely rare all-white swallow was found hiding in a barn in Gloucestershire.
Dave Sooner, 44, snapped the pure white bird near his home in Cirencester and posted the pictures to Twitter a day later.
His tweet went viral among ornithologists and Dave reckons it was a once-in-a-lifetime shot.
He said: "It's the first all-white swallow I've ever seen and will probably be the last.
"It was such an unusual bird. My phone went crazy with retweets and favourites.
"A lot of people were saying what a fantastic bird it is and how lucky I am. The battery on my phone nearly ran out."
