A kingfisher trapped and released at Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast was originally ringed in Poland some 620 miles away. The previous longest recorded distance was 603 miles. We'll know a more accurate distance when we discover where in Poland the bird was ringed.
The National Trust said cold weather could have led to the bird migrating from Eastern Europe.
