Just The Two of Us!

2022 | Digital Photograph

Umusambi Village is a nature reserve and sanctuary for rehabilitated Grey-crowned cranes, located on the eastern outskirts of Kigali. In the early morning, those cranes that are able like to fly to an elevated perch overlooking one the water features in the nature reserve and I have been lucky enough to experience this on a number of occasions. During the breeding season when the cranes have paired off to mate they like to perch together in the early mornings. I wanted this photograph to show this intimate moment between a pair of cranes.
