Tuesday - 12.30pm - BIRD watchers have been spotted in Legbourne trying to catch a glimpse of a rare visitor to the area.
According to a forum on Lincolnshire Bird Club's website, a cattle egret was spotted in the area last week and a glossy ibis was also seen near Huttoft Bank.
Rob Scott, a warden with Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, said the last time a cattle egret was spotted in Lincolnshire was 1986 and it was 1976 when a glossy ibis was last recorded here.
Cattle egrets are stocky all white birds with a yellow bill and are an average 51 cm long.
A glossy ibis is a wading bird with red-brown bodies and shiny bottle-green wings.
They have long curved bills and eat fish, frogs and other water creatures.
