flag A rare glossy ibis, spotted in South Cumbria, marks a record UK surge in sightings due to shifting weather patterns.

flag A rare glossy ibis was spotted in South Cumbria, marking the first confirmed sighting in the county and part of a record-breaking surge across the UK in September 2025, with over 600 birds reported—far exceeding the usual autumn count of around 200. flag The young bird, with brownish plumage, was filmed near Milnthorpe and observed feeding in damp fields, showing little fear of people. flag Experts suggest shifting weather patterns may be driving more birds from warmer regions of Europe and Africa to migrate further north, contributing to a broader trend of unusual species like night herons and hoopoes appearing in Cumbria.
