Flock of cranes standing at the curb

I've spent hours, trying to get pictures of Blue Cranes on the fields around Caledon. But I don't have the lens to capture them adequately at the distance they prefer to keep away from me.

Obdu's metal cranes are much more accommodating. They are lined up on the curb, asking you to take them home as garden ornaments. He would like R200 per bird if that's what you plan to do.
I love these, especially the ones with their heads dipped forward.

I would just love to have one ( or 2) of these. How fabulous! How much is R200 in sterling? We search for cranes here in UK , they are becoming easier to see and there are one or two isolated areas where they have bred.

@Cherrill: At today's exchange rate it's just under 20GBP / or $29. If you are serious about wanting I'll find out what they would cost to package and freight - that will be the pricey bit of the equation.

I like them too and that's a great price! It translates to about $40 Australian.
