A wildlife enthusiast on TikTok has discovered a "super rare" animal "that shouldn't be in the UK" hiding up in Scotland.

The Kookaburra is a type of bird native to Australia. It is part of the kingfisher family and is well-known for its distinctive call.

While usually found in Australia there are also a handful located right here in the UK.
