A unringed White Stork has been hanging around our patch for several weeks, previously seen in 2023 and earlier. Probably an escapee from a collection, but who knows?
It was very mobile today went from a fairly remote flooded field to a roadside flood and then close to a wildlife pond, and then on to a muddy mound in another flooded field.

@sciencebase It is now roosting in my loft. Has its boot on too.
