Hi Gert

Wow... what a beautiful clear shot, of a very beautiful bird. I love the head gear. Nice clear eye and the depth of colour is spot on. A real pleasure to view. Thanks!

Great capture Gert with perfect exposure and sharpness. The turn of the head has given you the perfect opportunity to show the beauty of this bird. What a hairdo! Very well done.

Welcome back Gert, did you have a good holiday? It is good to see you again, and especially posting this favourite of mine.
I love seeing these cranes on TN, such interesting and beautiful birds. And each time I see one, they see to be more intriguing.
Super shot here, his crown is beautiful, and the feathers are all so sharp and clear to see. Well done,
Janice

Hi Gert
Welcome back merry holiday maker. I hope you enjoyed it thoroughly and that you have properly defrosted while you thawed out in the sun.
This bird, also called the Mahem or the crested crane, is a winner. You really managed to do justice to its beauty with this wonderful capture.
The composition is great, the colours are stunning, the DOF is impressive with amazing details, the BG is perfect, and the exposure was absolutely brilliant.
Very well done my friend and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Yes they are...

This species and the closely related Grey Crowned Crane, B. regulorum, which prefers wetter habitats for foraging, are the only cranes that can nest in trees. This habit, amongst other things, is a reason why the relatively small Balearica cranes are believed to closely resemble the ancestral members of the Gruidae.

They do visit the area I stay in sometimes. It is very difficult to get close to them in wild. I must say that this one has an amazing hairdo.. much larger than the ones we have here.
