Rare Albatross Sighting on Yorkshire Coast

Bird Watcher's on the Yorkshire Coast are all of a flutter this week after an extremely rare Albatross was spotted at Bempton Cliffs.

Danielle Jackson from the RSPB reserve says the Black Browed Albatross is meant to be in the Falkland Islands.

Danielle says if you see the bird you will know it instantly.

Danielle says it's probably the only Albatross in the northern hemisphere right now. It's thought the bird has been circling between Scandinavia and the UK for some time.

The rare appearance of the bird has bought a flock of keen birdwatchers to the area.
