An extremely rare exotic kingfisher has been spotted in Lancashire, prompting visitors to flock to a nature reserve. Birdwatchers saw the belted kingfisher near Samlesbury before tracking it as it flew to Brockholes Nature Reserve. The bird, known for its shaggy crest and more commonly seen in the US, has been officially recorded in the UK only three times previously. Twitcher George Shannon said his "heart pounded" and he "couldn't believe it" when he saw it swoop past. The species, which is larger than its British relative and also known for its white collar, is generally found by lakes in the US and Canada. Lancashire Wildlife Trust said the only known previous sightings had been made in Staffordshire, twice, and once in Ireland. Mr Shannon said he was by the River Ribble in Red Scar Wood when he saw the bird "bobbing and twitching around" opposite him. It was stunning.
