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!!!

Mr Durrell ended up quite bloody!
