[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A close-up of the Blue Crane at the Austin Roberts Bird park in Pretoria. The birds are not cooped in or in cages and are free to come and go but they prefer the safety of the sanctuary and are rather used to humans although they are not tame. This one came quite close to the restaurant area where one can sit and watch them and the other birds right on the water's edge. However they do not necessarily stand still for their photos to be taken ;-). This one and his mate were alking up and down all the time.

Seeing the photo here I may have over-saturated on the blue. Otherwise no editing apart from blurring the background somewhat.
