A walker has captured images of a rare weather phenomenon called Brocken spectre on New Year's Day. Rhys Pleming was climbing Snowdon, Gwynedd, with his friend and they made it to the summit at about 08:15 GMT for the sunrise. Mr Pleming said the clouds began to cover the summit and another walker spotted the rare weather effect. The Met Office says the Brocken spectre appears when a large shadow of an observer is cast on to cloud or mist.
