Norfolk Cranes
Hi all

Out and about today on a mission to photograph seal pups (nothing doing as numbers still to low near me), and came across these chaps - 24 in total -feeding in a turned-over field. Distance and poor light against me so not a great shot but certainly a great sight.

For local boys, it was taken in Waxham.

Regards


Simon

Lucky you! I'd love to get over to Norfolk at some point to see the cranes. I like the panoramic crop you've used. Nit for me is that you can't see the ground that the cranes are standing on, and so it looks like their feet have been amputated. Nice shot nonetheless :smile:

Wow, what a great sight that must have been. I like the crop too. A bird I'd love to see and photograph!!

Love the crop - the letterbox format really suits all those horizontal bands.

I believe quite rare in the uk? Nice image, like the letter box format.
