ID for a friend

[dakid]

A friend on Twitter posted this image ...



... and asked for help identifying it. Apparently he took it over Belfast yesterday. I'm pretty inexperienced in such things, but it looks kinda like a stork to me? Can anyone help out, please?

Thank you in advance

It looks like a Marabou Stork to me. Is there a wildilfe park or zoo nearby that its having an outing from?

That's all I could come up with as well, but they're from South Africa aren't they? Also the neck didn't look quite right for a Marabou Stork.

Definitely a Marabou Stork.
