Crane in flight
Four Cranes were reared at Slimbridge WWT in 2010 and 2011 before being released into the wild on the Somerset levels as part of the Great Crane Project(it was all over the news at the time, as it was a great achievement to bring them back into the area).

One day i paid a visit to the reserve and the four did a rare fly-by infront of the hide i was in. This was the chap i snapped out of the four :smile:

1D MKIV
500f4/1.4TC
ISO 400
1/3200 @ f/6.3

Thanks for looking and comments
