The giants are not allowed to hover...only pied, as per the books! So disregard that sighting, BT!

I wonder how old those cranes get....I used to watch them there every weekend 30 years ago!

Thanks again for the kind comments everyone.

RP, it seems they don't know how long Blue Cranes live - it's estimated at 20-30 years.

Another visit on 3 May. One of the nice things about AR is that when I get cold I can stand in the sun and still take pictures!

A few less common birds.
Whitebreasted Cormorant.

Black Duck.

Bronze Mannekin.

And the usual residents.
