Just before I retired from work, I was told that I needed to be ready to be busier than I had ever been in my life. This advice was not wrong!
Today I give you some images of Brolga (Grus rubicunda) one of two species of crane found in Australia. I found these birds at Werribee Sewage Farm a few week ago. They seemed very calm and I watched them for a protracted period of time - hoping that there were be some 'dance' moves or similar. Alas they just pecked at the ground and pulled up plants for food.
But what a bird!

ReplyDeleteA fantastic bird to see Stewart and your shots are superb. Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a great week ahead
ReplyDeleteGraceful, wonderful birds, and Werribee is where I saw the only two Brolga I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember that time! I'm off to Werribee on Friday! SM
DeleteI thought the first photo was documenting the very rare 4-legged crane. Stunning and aesthetic images.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds and great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was working I had to time to do many things, now I am retired I have no time to myself. I have just done the first blog in 2 months, time just runs away!!
