Sarus Cranes remain among the birds I enjoy photographing. They are graceful, majestic, and have the distinction of being among the largest flying birds!
Sarus Crane pairs are known for their devotion to each other. They are dedicated parents who raise their offspring with great responsibility.
Incidentally, I have spotted two pairs of Cranes at the Chandu Budhera wetland in Gurgaon. This pair, however, doesn't seem to have an offspring. The other pair can be spotted with an offspring.
Sarus Cranes, though commonly spotted, are, however, facing a shortage of space, thanks to human developmental activities, which are pushing them further away from the vicinity of the city.
A few years back, they could be spotted in the erstwhile Basai Wetland. That wetland has disappeared, and in its place there are buildings and flyovers. In this ever-growing demand for space for residential buildings, wildlife in and around the city of Gurgaon is under great threat. My write-ups are dedicated to the last remaining Sarus Cranes of Gurgaon.
