The crane is a huge, graceful, mainly grey bird with long legs, a long neck and drooping, curved tail feathers. Small numbers pass through Britain in spring and autumn, and there is a tiny breeding population in eastern England. Numbers in Europe have declined over the last 300 years because of disturbance, shooting and drainage. (RSPB)

HI Bob These are beautifully stunning birds and are real posers. Great shots as usual. Where did you photograph them? When I was in Australia, I did a Sarus and Bologna Crane count on the Tablelands, it was wonderful to see them flying in and landing. Margaret
