Beautiful Brolga's..........

More uncommon wildlife..................on the way to work one day a few weeks ago these Brolga's were in one of the paddocks...........
stunning tall birds............3 here.........
then a few days later we saw these less the a kilometre from where we saw the others............not sure if they are the same ones missing a friend or a different pair.................
We are lucky to see them once a year............

Catch you later..............

I've seen them up close at Australia Zoo, they have beautiful eyes! How great to see them in the wild.

They are beautiful. We have the Sandhill cranes here, which are similar and I get excited each time I see them. They are awesome.

Beautiful! What a treat to see such wildlife now and then. I've never heard of a Brolga, but they look a lot like the blue herons that we see around here sometimes. They are a very tall bird with a huge wingspan and are lovely to watch when they fly.

Thanks for sharing them with us!

Beautiful birds -- how fortunate you got to see them.

Sweetie and I went down toward the coast a few years ago -- saw a field with something funny grazing -- looked like brown sheep. However, we got closer and found that they were actually Sandhill Cranes with their heads down (we were seeing them from the back.) It was a thrill because we never expected such a treat!
