Rare visiting bird at Springwatch site

Birdwatchers have been flocking to the RSPB's reserve at Minsmere in Suffolk in the hope of catching sight of an unusual visitor.

The purple swamphen is usually found in Spain, Portugal and parts of France.

If it turns out to be a migrant, as opposed to a captive bird which has escaped, it would be the first time a wild example has ever been seen in the UK.

It's a very short piece of footage captured by a 麻豆官网首页入口 cameraman.
