Thanks Pete - I see they are in my Birds of Australia, right deep in the spine and alongside Sarus Crane which a little different in marking with the red. I'd overlooked it thinking it also the Sarus. Thankyou for your I.D. problem solving; much appreciated! I hope one day to see them in the wild.Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-31552167888256755312013-03-14T04:10:45.626+11:002013-03-14T04:10:45.626+11:00It's an interesting bird, Carole, but I have n...It's an interesting bird, Carole, but I have no idea what it is.Grandma Barb's This and Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639649601385700411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-14310321968395208382013-03-14T03:09:18.442+11:002013-03-14T03:09:18.442+11:00Beautiful pictures Carole, this is a crane.
