The oriental turtle dove that brought hundreds of people to Chipping Norton is still being spotted in the area.

On Tuesday, more than 500 people turned up to see the bird, which has only ever been spotted in the UK about nine times in the past.

Steve Akers, who opened his house for the birdwatchers, said the bird was not spotted on Tuesday, but had visited his and his neighbour’s gardens on Wednesday and yesterday.

He said he had received calls from media organisations across the world about the rare bird.
