White Stork over Halifax 12.22pm

A shopping trip this p.m. turned out to be a bonus whilst waiting at the lights in town to turn right up Pellon Lane.
A large bird  soared behind the block of flats which I thought was a Heron but when it re appeared it was seen to be a White Stork. It was very high and soaring round in circles without beating its wings. As the lights changed I had to drive on whilst Lynda alerted the cavalry via the grapevine.
When we got to Asda and was speaking to DJS on the phone I could still see the bird over town in the same position. After 5 minutes in Asda the frustration got too much and I came back out into the car park to see the bird right overhead still soaring, I boast that my camera goes everywhere with me but that doesnt include Asda, it will in future.
After more phone calls the bird lost high somewhat and flew directly over Asda >N parallel to Pellon Lane.
I was sure NCD would pick it up as it was heading maybe to the west of him but it was the size of a barn door so should be easy to see but somehow it slipped through the net of the waiting crew , unless of course it went down somewhere.
The problem with a White Stork is, is it a genuine or a free flyer from Harewood, we,ll never know
Who said shoppings boring
BS
