Hundreds of avid bird watchers flocked to a tiny village with the hope of glimpsing a rare bird.

Keen twitchers descended on Beeley, Derbyshire, to spot the Dusky Thrush - a Siberian bird which has only ever been seen in Britain 12 times.

The Asian bird was spotted at Dukes Barn in the remote village, which has a population of around 200.

After clueless Rachel Jones tweeted a picture of the Dusky Thrush, hundreds of bird watchers raced to the activity centre on Monday, with hundreds more turning up on Tuesday (December 6).

Lee Evans, from London, said Rachel had no idea what she'd spotted but he drove to the centre immediately.
