(delhibirdpix) Dadri 28 Mar 10 Sarus Crane IV

Sorry the date in the last three mails has been wrongly given as 24 Mar10
instead of 28 Mar 10.

Date : 24 Mar 10
Location : Dadri Wetland
Camera/Lens : Nikon D300. Nikon 500mm F4, VR.
Common Name : Sarus Crane
Scientific Name : Grus antigone
Bird Family : GRUIFORMES: Gruidae

Remarks : Dadri has never disappointed me as regards the Sarus.
We saw three Sarus a little distance at dadri but on the return we saw this
pair full frame with the 500mm lens. The pair was busy preening each other
and one self. Some images capturing the moods of my favourite bird.The image
D1862 has the Sarus almost to its knees asking the Partner "Will you marry
me ". I have seen this behaviour during during nesting in Mar/Apr 06 at
Sultanpur. This was normally the start of the dance as though the sarus was
begging lets dance and they would dance together for 2-4 min at stretch.
