A blue songbird which was spotted in Guernsey may be “one of the rarest ever recorded in the Channel Islands” if it was wild, according to a local nature group.

The bird, which is suspected to be an indigo bunting, was seen in a private garden in St Martin’s Parish, according to La Société Guernesiaise.

The bird, a male, has not been seen since but may be visiting gardens in the Jerbourg area.
