Our preening National bird

the Blue Crane. They have such beautiful fine feathers on the head and long plumage on the rest of the body. Such a pity they were behind a fence. I went back on Saturday, but could not get a full length shot.

Wonderfully captured!

This works for me- fence or not. I like the curl of the neck and the beak tucked in the feathers. Nice shot!

I like this composition, Diana!. You have featured the great textures of the feathers, and I agree with Ann about the curl of the neck. Just lovely! Fav
