Local White Stork

A White Stork had been doing the rounds locally and had been seen by a few people from nearby Launceston to Widemouth on the North coast, so I was'nt that surprised when our neighbour told me he had seen one the day before on a telegraph post at Liftondown , just a couple of miles away. AsI had to go into town, I made a slight detour and yes, the Stork was still there on the post looking like a big white statue . I took a few photos from the car before getting out and taking a few more,it was a very bright sunny day but from the side I was on it was way too bright so I just walked underneath it and it took little notice of me except making a little barking noise. Much better from the other side where I got some nice close up photos. It was wearing a yellow leg ring C41, which is from a breeding programme in the Exe valley.
