Hi,
Whilst taking photos of Brolgas along the Norman River, Normanton last month, I was able to photograph this pair of Sarus Cranes. As you can see photo taken at lens high focal length .
Despite revisiting the area I was unable to find them again!

Very cool Mike.
Thanks for introducing me to a new species - I was totally unaware of the Sarus Crane and would have just assumed they were brolgas.
Cheers

Thanks Tim,
I hadn't seen one before and had to wait until the download the photos to confirm my sighting!! I had been told they were around in the area though.
The area around Normanton is great for birding; this was my first visit. I have some more photos of other birds I want to confirm, before I post them here.
all the best
Mike
