Spectacular, exotic bird, spotted in Market Harborough
A spectacular bird was seen flying around Market Harborough.
The bird was photographed by Dave Percival
He said: "My wife called me out into the garden on Elm Drive on Tuesday evening (July 9), I ran inside to grab my camera. No time to make any adjustments I ran these shots off just as it decided to take flight."
Mr Percival and his friends have identified it as a sacred ibis, and believe it has probably escaped from a collection. The bird was seen around the area again on Wedneday (July 10) but has not been seen since.
