(delhibirdpix) [birds-pix] Portrait # 077 - The Commoners - # 44.151 - Sarus Crane (Grus antigone) - 2015-194 [1 Attachment]

Made a last minute planned trip to Dhanauri, Parsaul and  as yet unnamed Wetland.

Just easy and relaxing trip.

Migration is in good progress - easily over 5000 Waterfowl & Waders at the three

Wetlands.

Raptors are being seen - GSE, Honey-Buzzard, Booted Eagle, Black-Shouldered Kites

and of course, the Marsh Harriers in good numbers.

Star of the Dhanauri Wetland continues to be Sarus.  Got close ups of a Family.

Here is a Parent and a Juvenile who is almost ready to fledge. As seen, framed and

captured - just sharpening.

Enjoy.
