Preening session

of a Stork and two Blue Cranes. I was so hoping they would look at me, but they were not interested.

Wildlife can be so uncooperative. Lovely detail in this image and the exposure and focus is spot on.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

ha, synchronised preening?

[Margo]

Very nice capture

[Denise Wood]

Lovely :)

[Susan Wakely]

They are involved in a very important job. They probably looked in your direction as you walked away!

[Nina Ganci]

They were definitely taking care of business and not at all concerned about your presence. And terrific capture of the three of them.

So crisp and clean.

[Allison Maltese]

I know. I have noticed that there isn't much you can do when birds want to preen!

[Rick]

Great capture. Don't you just hate that. Like my owls when they won't open their eyes. :-)

Nice shot of them looking after those feathers. Such lovely large birds. Recently cranes have been reintroduced to the UK and are breeding well. It's only a short drive from where I live fingers crossed I can get to see them in the spring
