Went to the Pretoria Zoo on the weekend with my new Canon 300D and a Canon 28 -135 USM lense. Took these close-ups of a Crowned Crane in a walkthrough aviary.

The focus and detail are great. Do you have any pics with the whole crown?

Isn't that one called the African Crested Crane?

It does occur in Africa, also know as the Grey Crowned Crane. (Checked the name in The Robert Birds of Southern Africa 7th Edition)
