A
beautiful rare multi-coloured bird has rapturous nature lovers descending on a
New York park in their hundreds.
The
unusual specimen, called a painted bunting, has a dark blue head, a bright
orange and red breast and a green and yellow back.
He
was spotted in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and is thought to be one of only 10
seen in New York since 1927.
The New York Post reported “at least 100” bird
enthusiasts were visiting the park every day to see the bird.
“A
lot of people are losing their s*** over this bird,” birding tour leader Doug
Gochfeld told the paper.
Other
birdwatchers were described as “ecstatic” and “shaking” when they clapped eyes
on the brightly-coloured male.
