A rare bird has been spotted in a Scottish man's garden for 38 days, setting a new UK-wide record.
Jimmy Crawford, from Kilwinning in Ayrshire, has been seeing a myrtle warbler outside of his home since February. Since then, the rare species has attracted visitors from as far as Cornwall to come and take a look.
The last time a myrtle warbler was recorded on the UK mainland was 2014, when one was observed in County Durham. With 38 days and counting in Crawford's garden, this now marks the longest-ever time one of the birds has stayed in the UK.
