[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Saras Crane (Grus antigone) is the tallest flying bird on Earth and the state bird of Uttar Pradesh. The cranes are known to pair for life and are found near marshes, lakes, village ponds and well watered fields. Their numbers is however fast declining. Ironically, they have long been a symbol of fertility and fidelity in India, the second most populated country in the world. Mainpuri, in Uttar Pradesh, will have a bird sanctuary dedicated to the Saras Crane.

On my way back from Agra to Delhi, I found these incredible cranes close to the highway. They were suspicious about my move with the camera and very soon all of them (the family)flew away to the safe distance from humans.

Hi Subhash,
You can captured nicely this beautiful family. Lighting, composition, POV and colors nice; but focus a bit soft. But still good shot. good notes. TFS, well done
