Black Stork over Midhope, Saturday

News reached me today (Sunday 24th) of a "Black Stork seen over Midhope viewpoint 10.45, Saturday 23.5.2015. Passed over going southwest then turned west" followed by a brief description of what was clearly a Black Stork!! seen by Colin and Margaret Bower. Presumably the bird that had headed northwards up the southern half of the UK during the previous 2 days, being last reported in Lincolnshire on the day before this sighting (Friday). Is it coincidence that this was seen the same Spring Bank Holiday weekend as that over Wintersett last year? Same bird?
