Enthusiasts from across the UK have been descending on Kent this festive season, drawn by the rare sighting of an American bird. Spotted for the first time on Christmas Eve near Maidstone in New Hythe, the American yellow warbler has caused quite a stir among the birdwatching community.

The warbler, an "extremely rare visitor to Britain and Ireland" as described by the British Trust for Ornithology, attracted dozens more spectators on Monday when it was seen perching in an alder tree. Austin Morley, a wildlife and bird blogger, shared his experience on social media, recalling how the elusive bird made his group wait almost five hours before showing itself.

His Facebook post read: "Sensational day in Kent yesterday, with prolonged point blank views of the American yellow warbler at New Hythe and the scops owl at Broadstairs. No better way to end the birding year."
