Halifax Town Centre

Anyone get 3 Large Crane like birds anywhere round the area today ?
The 3 were very high over Piece Hall ,Square Chapel spire today at 1250hrs heading >NNE. Wide square fingered wings, long necks,trailing legs I think?
Flight was a soaring glide with hardly any wing beats. Unfortunately I was stuck in queue to get into M&S car park so could,nt i.d. Rang DCB at Wilsden which seemed to be near direction of flight but he got nothing ? One of those exciting but frustrating sightings . BS
