Bird watching enthusiasts flocked to Burnham-On-Sea seafront over the past few days following the sighting of an unusual bird.
A Kentish Plover was spotted on the beach near Burnham-On-Sea jetty and then later on Stert Island. There were similar sightings in January 2024.
Local birder James Packer, who took this shot of the bird, says the Kentish Plover has appeared in Burnham for the last few winters.
“Birders want to see it in the new year because many keep year lists and it’s the only one in the country.”
