A rather large bird with the size of a goose, unknown to me, promenaded itself at Stonehenge on Easter. More critters at Camera Critters and Saturday’s Critters and more winged pictures at Wild Bird Wednesday and The BIRD D’Pot .
Update 2017-05-23 Gordon (see comment below) told me this was a rare bird, great bustard, that is reintroduced to the UK. A very cool and calm bird amongst the people visiting Stonehenge on easter. I Googled the bird and Wikipedia told that there are cirka 40 birds on the Salisbury Plains where this bird was seen. Many thanks to Gordon!

Hi Christina, what a great photo and how lucky you where , if anyone hasn’t already told you, the name of the bird is a Great Bustard. We are having a certain amout of success in reintroducing them to the UK.
Take care, Gordon.

Thank you! It was rather unusual in size and wasn´t afraid of all the people and of course people photographed it even though nobody knew what a rare bird it was. It scratched it´s head too looking rather cute. Anda after Gorodn gave me the name for the bird I discovered that this is the heaviest flying bird in the world as well. I wish you a wonderful weekend!
