Watch: 'Haynado' in field captured by farm worker

A farm worker has captured the moment a "haynado" formed in a field.

Lee Kimpton, 45, said the unusual incident lasted between three and four minutes, as pieces of hay were tossed about 150ft (45.7m) into the air above a field in Leicestershire on Wednesday.

"I just nicknamed it as a haynado. It's quite a spectacle when you actually see one for yourself, literally in front of you," he said.

A spokesman for the Met Office said the footage appeared to show a "swirling column of air, which is relatively common in the UK", rather than a tornado.
