After watching the geese fly out (and waiting endlessly for the cranes to do the same), we moved on to one of the other ponds. Lots of cranes hanging around there, too. They were leaving in small groups like this one, four or five at a time.
There's almost the full range of flight motion in these five birds - the sort of thing DaVinci might have sketched as a flight study of the crane.
Gannet Gannet Gannet! Bit of a different view this time. I feel it would look good in B&W, but I struggle with making photos look how I imagine!

A flock of poaka (pied stilt - Himantopus himantopus) in flight at Ashley Estuary.
The pied stilt is a dainty wading bird with, as its name suggests, black-and white-colouration and very long legs. It is common at wetlands and coastal areas throughout New Zealand and may be seen feeding alongside oystercatchers.
Pied stilts tend to be shy of people and fly away, yapping, when approached. (www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz)
Fantasy of Flight: Half way between Orlando and Tampa - they call it "Orlampo!"
The largest private aircraft collection (it is claimed) in the world.
Worth a couple of hours visit.
The flight sequence was piloted by Kermit Weeks who owns the place (his colleciton.) He's so enthusiastic he seems to want to be there all the time.
