Blue Crane. South Africa's National Bird!!
Hey everyone, what an honour this was. A Blue Crane close up at Sun International's Sun City in the North West! This bird is much larger than it looks in these pics. We recently had a nice three day break at Sun City in the North West. When this gorgeous animal came strolling past I just had to take some pics. Sadly my phone ran out of memory and my sd card was corrupt. I did manage to capture two semi decent pics however.
I will be submitting these to @papa-pepper combination animal photo contest this week, have you heard of it? If not check it out here and put in an entry yourself?
These pics I took at the Gary Player Golf Course. The Blue Crane was a regular at this course to my surprise and excitement among a plethora of other incredible birds and wildlife including buck and crocodiles.
Here one of the local dams on the golf course, what spectacular views from all angles! This course is the home of the annual Nedbank Million Dollar Golf Challenge!
Africa the Incredible, I trust you have an amazing week ahead.
Cheer$;)
Lovely bird, and thanks for the reminder.
I have some photos I took for @papa-pepper's challenge. I need to make a post. I hope I am not too late!!
My son keeps telling me about your bee adventures. I think he may be wanting to takeup bee keeping now. XP
