The picture shows a South African crowned crane in all its splendour. The elegant bird with its striking appearance takes centre stage. The golden, fan-like crown of feathers on its head, which gives it its name, is particularly eye-catching. It stands out radially and forms a bright contrast to the rest of the plumage.
The face of the crane is partly unfeathered: The cheeks are white, the throat shows a bright red flap of skin. The beak is grey and slightly curved, the eyes appear bright and alert. The neck is long and slender, giving the bird a majestic appearance.
Its body is predominantly covered in grey plumage, with white, black and golden-brown accents on the wings. These colour transitions are particularly beautiful in sunlight and emphasise the bird's noble appearance.
The crane stands on long, dark legs - either on an open grassland or in a shallow water landscape, as is typical of its natural range. The background is slightly blurred, which clearly emphasises the crowned crane.
