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)
Czerwona czapeczka na głowie dodaje uroku temu dostojnemu ptakowi, który ma cudowne zdjecia. Pozdrawiam. The red cap on his head adds beauty to the eminent bird that has wonderful pictures. Yours.
Really a super series of these crane Bob. With us, you see this only in animal and zoological parks. Very rarely you vie once a crane in the wild, but that are really exceptions. Beautifully displayed.
Oh my - these are fabulous portrait shots of the Crane! It's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBONSOIR BOB
