Quest for the Siberian Crane

  Last year I tried to find this most magnificent and famous bird of Iran but to no avail. Fereydoon Kenar wetland, where most of the time he foraging and resting there, has become a unique bird trap area which called "Damgah" in Iran and it's very difficult and even dangerous for birdwatching.
On February 1, finally I could see it. At first it wasn't present in the area where he usually foraging and I nearly gave up to find it but then he flew from nowhere and landed in front of us. What a beauty!
