Baby crane discovered in a swamp in Spandau forest, Berlin
I did not expect at all to meet this little dude ...
At first, I had absolutely no idea what it was, I did not know that crane nestlings were reddish like that and it was more or less swimming on the water like a duck.
I should have known though, as 2 minutes before I was secretly trying to approach a pair of common cranes in the swamp, that eventually flew away. I had never thought about where Common cranes are nesting, I was assuming it was way more in the north of Europe.
Anyway after taking a shot, I did not stay much longer to avoid creating too much disturbance :(
