A kookaburra has been spotted living wild in the Suffolk countryside.
The bird, which is a member of the kingfisher family, is native to Australia and is an unusual site in the UK.
It has been spotted near Sudbury.
A spokesman for Suffolk Wildlife Trust said it was first spotted about nine years ago, and “seems to have made itself quite at home in Suffolk”.
Jack Cripps added: “It would be an escapee, however it’s not known from where the bird escaped.
“Kookaburra can live more than 20 years, so it could be around for many years to come.”
