Brolga |
Sightings
We saw a pair of Brolgas on a boat tour on the Yellow River in the Northern Territory (South of Jabiru). Because of the grey colour of the legs we are sure that the specimens we saw (shown in the photos below, which are not perfect,) are not Sarus Cranes.
Photos
For those who are not familiar with the size of Brolgas - this bird is about as tall as a man (click on image for larger version)
