Brolga (Grus rubicunda) appears to be showing off wingspan to potential partner, but in fact was merely stretching wings and things by a farm road near Ingham.
The species never drops in at Tyto (the wetlands lacks anything tempting, vegetable or animal). Seeing about 60 of the graceful charmers on flood-prone coastal grazing land not far from Tyto was a happy surprise.

I love those birds. We should adopt their colour scheme as a back up for the green and gold.
Great pictures Tony.
Beautiful birds and you have caught the wing stretching perfectly.
But could we use their trumpeting calls to replace Advance A Fair?
Thanks a lot, Martin and Mick.
