Great shot mate!!
I remember an episode in a Gerald Durrel book where someone had caught a Crane or a Heron for his zoo and getting it out of the back it lunged at him, its beak going right up his nose!

Oooooh... I know that they have broken several camera lenses at this place... the people who work there caution photographers to stay behind the railings to protect them and the cranes!!!

I can well imagine!
Mr Durrell ended up quite bloody!

Yes he was! That was in the 50s. Sadly he died in the 1990s
