Rare bird makes Somerset landing
An albatross, found on a Somerset beach by a walker, has been released after a check-up by animal rescuers.
The bird, believed to be either a yellow-nosed or black-browed albatross, was discovered, apparently uninjured, on the beach at Brean on Friday.
After a once over by staff at the Secret World Wildlife Rescue Centre, near Burnham-On-Sea, it was released from a cliff top on Saturday afternoon.
The centre said it had been years since an albatross was seen in the county.
