Birdwatchers descended on woodland near Worcester this weekend after reports of an extremely rare bird in the area.
There have been reports of a golden oriole heard singing near the Monkwood Nature Reserve.
The protected birds are extremely rare and are endangered globally.
Birdwatchers gathered in the car park at the nature reserve yesterday to try to spot the bird which is rarely seen in the UK.
Lovely to visit the Golden Oriole again at Monkwood this morning. Uplifting to hear its fluting song echoing through the woods. Singing regularly, but you need some serious luck to actually see it! Worth it just for the sound though: https://t.co/lIQehcmsBt
