Spotted in the Highlands: Exotic rare bird makes it all the way from Africa to Scotland

A rare bird from Africa has been spotted in the Scottish Highlands.

The exotic creature from the southern hemisphere, called the Hoopoe, attracted largescale attention at the weekend from bird enthusiasts. Ryan Wemyss, 50, snapped some pictures of the bird in the Black Isle peninsula. He said: “I’m not sure if its GPS is going haywire, but it might be down to the warmer climate.”
