An extremely rare bird has paid a visit to a nature reserve.

The Caspian tern was spotted at Derbyshire Wildlife Trust's Carr Vale Nature Reserve near Bolsover on Friday.

Nick Brown, of the trust, said: "It is extremely rare to see one in Derbyshire - this is only the ninth record."

Caspian terns are very large compared with other terns and have a carrot-coloured beak. They nest in Scandinavia around the Baltic with others nesting much further east.
