A lost gannet found more than 70 miles away from the nearest colony has been rescued.
The seabird was discovered in a garden in Killinghall, near Harrogate, on 21 September before being driven to RPSB Bempton Cliffs to be released.
Jean Thorpe, who helped rescue the bird, said she feared that had she not stepped in to help it would have died.
Danielle Jackson, visitor experience manager at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, said to find a gannet one mile from the coast was "unusual" but to find one near Harrogate was "very bizarre".
