On the same day that I took some of the little ones, I also got this one. As you can see, the weather was appalling, but you can't let the photo op go by! This is a Crowned Crane


Pesky photographers, can't they see I'm trying to rest?

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Jeff, these guys probably feel safe in the bird sanctuary (they also don't have to go too far for food!).

    Thanks Harry! I'd normally try and compose a bit better, but with the appalling light, I was basically taking snaps. I'm surprised at how well they came out.
