A bird of prey seen in the UK only a handful of times has been spotted at a wetland reserve.

The black-winged kite was pictured near Slimbridge, Gloucestershire, earlier this week in a first for the county.

They are normally found in the warmer climates of South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, and closer by, in north Africa and central Spain.
