Birds of East Africa
Crowned Crane Portrait
The crowned crane is one of my favourite birds. I found this one whilst on a drive in the Masai Mara. It was standing right by the road and there was a fairly strong wind, ruffling its feathers. I took a series of shots, trying to use a wide aperture in order to blur the background completely.
