I work in the offices just North of Edderthorpe flash.
Looking up today (09/07/24) I’m almost certain I saw a spoonbill flying over the window. Thought it may be an Egret at first and then perhaps a swan as it got nearer but then as it flew over I saw the shape of the long bill. Never seen one before.
