Brolgas on the Boyne

This farm is between crops and the brolgas are enjoying the fallow ground. The Boyne River flows along the tree line.

@ludwigsdiana they are in the crane family and known as the Australian crane :)

They are so big, and don't look worried about you being there at all.

How wonderful. I remover seeing them 'dance' on the Coolum swamps as a child.

@jan11 That's how I remember them - dancing on the wet lands when I was a child going to school. They seemed to disappear for many years but have made a come back in our area in recent years.

Was this on your farm Margaret. Great to hear they are making a comeback

@terryliv That farm is our neighbours just across the road. The birds fly between the two properties each day- camping up in our place during the night and dropping over on to the fields to feed during the day.
