Caught in the Act - Blue Crane's Crop Mischief Unveiled!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Alan Weaving, we witness a mischievous blue crane named ASW-4618 causing mayhem amidst lush lucerne, maize, and wheat crops. This feathered troublemaker hails from the picturesque Mountain Zebra National Park in Eastern Cape, South Africa. Endemic to South Africa but also spotted in Namibia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, these magnificent birds thrive in open grasslands and the grassland/Karoo ecotone. However, they have developed a rather peculiar taste for agricultural fields too! With their elegant stature and striking blue plumage contrasting against the vibrant greenery of farmlands, these cranes effortlessly blend into their surroundings. But don't be fooled by their beauty – they are notorious crop raiders! Known for their audacious antics and fearless nature when it comes to exploring human-made landscapes, these blue cranes bring an unexpected twist to traditional farming scenes. Farmers might find themselves scratching their heads as they try to protect their precious crops from these clever avian intruders. So next time you spot a blue crane gracefully roaming through your local national park or even near your own backyard crops - keep an eye out! You never know when ASW-4618 might make its grand entrance with its feathery accomplices!
