What a Bustard.  Bustards are becoming more common and this bird was photographed during October 2006 on Curry Moor which is part of the Somerset levels and close to J25 of the M5 motorway.

This bird is possibly part of the release project on Salisbury Plain, but this can not be confirmed as it's not a wing tagged bird.
It was showing really well in a field of Mute swans and was certainly not camera shy.
