Hundreds of twitches have flocked to a cul-de-sac to catch a glimpse of an ultra-rare bird that unexpectedly blew in from America.<br /><br />Around 300 bird watchers have crowded into the road in Shelf, West Yorks., where the scarlet tanager was first spotted yesterday (Mon) on a washing line.<br /><br />It is thought the small yellow and black bird arrived in Britain after being blown off course by strong winds from a hurricane in North America.<br /><br />And some of the assembled twitchers had travelled hundreds of miles to see the unusual species, which was last glimpsed in the UK back in 2014.<br />
