Martyn Owen was travelling to work in Newtown, Wales, with his wife Laura, when they spotted the flying rarity.
A Bridgnorth bird watcher says he is "shocked" and "very lucky" after spotting and recording footage of a black-winged kite - the first time the bird and has been seen in the UK.Martyn Owen and his wife Laura after they recorded the bird
The species of kite is usually only found in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical Asia but has recently gained a foothold within Europe and has been seen as far north as Calais - but it has never been sighted in the wild in the UK before. “I saw a bird on the side of the road that was obviously something very different to what I am used to seeing in the area and the UK.
He added that what followed was a"frantic" five minutes as the pair tried to get the black-winged kite in shot.
