An "extremely rare"
bird, which has only been seen in Derbyshire eight times before, has arrived at
a nature reserve in the county.
The Caspian tern was spotted at
visited Derbyshire
Wildlife Trust's Carr Vale Nature Reserve on Friday.
Nick Brown, of the trust, said,
"We think there are only around 290 records of Caspian terns in the UK and
most of these sightings have been coastal.
"It is extremely rare to see
one in Derbyshire, this is only the ninth record. I was lucky enough to see one
at Willington Gravel Pits in 1993.
