Beskrivelse: Supplement til de fine billeder fra Nord-Jylland. Her ses en adult hun - samme individ på alle 4 fotos. Mindre orange på undersiden - i stedet mere bleg og med fine striber - samt meget lyse baser af armsvingfjer i mod skarpt afsat sort bagkant på armen. Tak til KMO for 'second opinion' og den præcise uddybning af min ID!

Beskrivelse: A really tall bird 125cm compared to G. grus beeing app. 100-105cm. A lot of the time in relatively deep water, but also taking food in the wet meadows behind. Most birds left the sanctuary before the end of March. We spotted 5 individuals this day.
