Brolga mugshot

[Callie]

The Brolga (Antigone rubicunda), formerly known as the native companion, is a bird in the crane family. It has also been given the name Australian crane.
Got this mugshot at a heritage-listed wildlife park - Fleays Wildlife Park Conservation Park, Tallebudgera Creek Road, Tallebudgera, Queensland, Australia.
Don't you just love the indigenous Oz names, it rolls like music off the tongue!
D500; 500 PF; F/7.1; 1/2000; ISO 3200

Nice profile shot - the red nape almost looks like fleece.

Thanks Jim. No, this was in deep shade, my original is very dark and he was constantly moving his head so a slow ss was all blur - so not a gentle exercise
