Nature enthusiasts and bird watchers were treated to a rare sighting of a Eurasian spoonbill on the Lancashire coastline.

The elusive bird was sighted on Saturday afternoon, and suggests that they have moved to the North West after initial conservation efforts began on the East Coast.

Having been placed on the European conservation concern list, they are considered a very rare breeding bird in the UK.
