Grey Crowned Crane

Grey Crowned Crane
The Grey Crowned Crane is one of the most striking birds of the floodplains and grasslands of southern Africa. Well-named after its amazing golden crown, a stiff crest of feathers on the top of the head, it also has bright red gular sacs under the chin that are inflated when it is calling. The rather mournful call is a characteristic sound of the bush.
