Wild Bird Wednesday 557 - Brolga

The Brolga (Grus rubicunda) is one of two species of crane found in Australia.  The Brolga at Werribee are experiencing a bit of a population boom, with at least 11 birds present.  With a bit of luck you can find at least three different groups of birds these days.

This pair of birds was happily feeding in some mud, although I was never able to get a look at what they were eating.

  4. En effet c'était à Werribee que j'avais vu deux grues, mais en vol. J'aurai aimé les voir comme toi, elles sont très belles.
