Description

Waiting for the Bus! This group of four Brolgas was literally hanging out at the Bus Stop in outback town Longreach, Queensland, Australia.
The Brolga is one of two Australian Crane species and looks very similar to the Sarus Crane. Both are predominantly grey in colour. The Brolga can be distinguished by the red colouring, which is confined to its head. In the Sarus Crane the red colour extends down the neck as well. Furthermore the Brolga has a heavier dewlap.The Brolga is more widespread as well, covering almost half of Australia (the northern and eastern parts), the Sarus Crane is confined to areas in the far north only.
