173: 10 Jun 2024 Crane, flying over Helton near Lowther
Location: Helton
Name: Raymond Clark
Driving up the Lowther valley ,going through Helton I was suprised to see flying above the road was what I first thought was a Stork, then Crane. Seemed to be in no hurry, I later texted a friend and he said he had one fly over his place recently at Shap Lodge, he thought Lowther were doing a re introduction of them, so maybe its from Lowther.
