The stork which yesterday graced a construction crane in Victoria seemed to have liked the place and decided to stay the night.

The beautiful bird was an attraction this morning as it continued to rest on the same crane it adopted as its home last night.

The bird has now taken off. It was last seen flying towards Malta at a safe altitude.

Mepa officials, police and Birdlife Malta volunteers followed the bird after they accompanied it throughout the night to ensure its safety.
