The visitor, a pelican, would normally be found in the hot coastal regions of Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas.

The bird spent some time in Longis and was spotted by Sammy Hogg, who managed to photograph and video it on her phone.
It is believed to be the first time a pelican has been seen in the wild in the Channel Islands.
