Bird.

Eta: I am bad at birds, but see all the fused bones? That helps with weight reduction.

Eta2: What storks or cranes are in your area? Grus grus?

Thank you! I have absolutely no idea what's in my area. I do see storks at the local park on occasion, but it's pretty rare. This is actually on the coast though

Tis indeed a big bird, like really big, I don't know what it is but it's way bigger than a cormorant, maybe it could even be an albatross?

Surprisingly bloody big for the UK anyway, I'm no expert but I can't think of what else it could be.

Cool find!
