Rare Visitor Summers in Norfolk

A pair of sandhill cranes spent the summer in Norfolk, according to reports that have filtered in over the past months. On September 22, photographer Savage Frieze captured this one on film on private land in Norfolk’s northwest quadrant. It is an adult Lesser sandhill crane in summer plumage. The birds are famous for the elaborate dancing displays between male and female, accompanied by a complex vocal duet.
