The mysterious bird was spotted in New Polzeath
A woman from Cornwall has been left baffled by a mysterious bird which stayed in her garden for three days, but defies identification.
Hilary Mulley drew a sketch of the feathered visitor during its stay at her home in New Polzeath, Wadebridge and believes it may be an incredibly rare blue rock thrush.

If she's correct it will be only the second sighting of this species in the UK. The first has been drawing hundreds of birdwatchers to the Cotswolds after it was sighted in December 2016.
"We weren't quite sure what species it was at first, but the nearest likeness in our bird book was the blue rock thrush," Hilary said.
"When we read on Teletext that one had been sighted in the Cotswolds it confirmed our decision."
Hilary takes an interest in the birds which visit her garden including robins, siskins, and song thrushes, but she had never seen this type of bird before.
