Dancing brolgas

Very priviliged to come across these 2 Brolgas this morning on the way home from work.
Love their look, colours and elegance as they bowed to each other, pranced, and spread their wings.
Alas, quite a long way away, so pics not great, but ya get the idea.

Fantastic Liz. Even photographed at a distance they are beautiful. What a joy to see them. We have a pair down our way on the Mooloort plains. I haven't seen them dance, but they did fly over me quite close when I didn't have the camera handy. Drats - they were stunning. When my new 100-400L zoom arrives I'll be off stalking them for sure.
