White Stork (Ciconia ciconia)

Spotted this flying in the air above Blairdrummond Safari Park in Perthshire yesterday. It was being mobbed by the local Rooks. It was ringed,but as far as I know the Park doesn't have any bird enclosures for it to escape from. Sign of global warming? Hardly - it was bitterly cold in Scotland yesterday!

Great catch. There's a couple flying around at present. We had one locally but it disappeared again.
