The Poser
by PeterKR
I don't know what type of bird this is as there wasn't any information on the enclosure - can anyone help ?
What I do know is that he was quite a lively chap !
Just before I caught him 'posing' on the tree stump he came up to the edge of the enclosure and danced up & down in front of me !
I couldn't get a shot then as he was 'pecking' through the mesh so I couldn't get the lens close enough to 'lose' the mesh as I have done in this shot by resting the lenshood against it.

Great shot, I think you'll find its a Crowned Crane, if you Goole Crowned Crane there are some photos on there so you can compare them, hope this is of help.
Yes you are correct and I did go directly to Google !Great shot, I think you'll find its a Crowned Crane, if you Goole Crowned Crane there are some photos on there so you can compare them, hope this is of help.
It is a Black Crowned Crane.
Many thanks for the help and also to you both for the comments.
