Re: Blue Crane.
They sound completely and absolutely not what they should sound like.

Re: Blue Crane.
Spectre and I went to my cousin in Philippolis in 2011 to harvest some springbuck (the hunt fell flat, so we ended up culling what we needed during one of the nights).
We drove past a whole flock of them and that was my first encounter with them. They are absolutely magnificent birds.
The sound a while flock makes is incredible!
Incidentally that was also the coldest I have ever been in my life, that night on the back of the Bakkie!

Re: Blue Crane.
Orphaned Cranes are very easy to raise, and become like house dogs if you live on a farm or small holding, unfortunately they all seem to get killed by power or telephone lines/wire. Every one we have raised has died by flying into lines.

Re: Blue Crane.
I also worry about those wind turbines which were erected in the middle of their territory.

Re: Blue Crane.
I do not want to appear to be pedantic
and
I am no photography expert
However the grass is "burnt-out"
It is very difficult to expose for a wide variety of light conditions ( outside the cameras range )
What did the image histogram look like ?
One needs to take multiple correctly exposed images -- one exposed for the brightness and the other for the darker areas
One can them combine them using software for an image that is correctly exposed across all the light levels.
( Known as HDR )
