Marlgu billabong near Wyndham Western Australia at dusk. Taken September 2019. This was a fantastic spot, so many birds. In the foreground magpie geese, in the background more magpie geese, an egret, brolgas and a black necked stork aka jabiru. #birdsOfMastadon #westernaustralia #Brolga #jabiru #magpiegoose #Australia

Australia’s only crane species, the Brolga is well known for its graceful courtship dance.

Found in Australia’s northern tropics the Brolga’s name is taken from the Aboriginal language Gamilaraay, in which they are called burralga.

The Brolga features in numerous First Nations Dreamtime stories, including the Mutti Mutti people of Lake Mungo and the Darling Basin, the Mambaliya-Wawukarriya clan and the Gija people.

The striking markings of this crane are my inspiration for the Australian bird illustration series I’ll be uploading over the next few months.

Anyone seen a Brolga in the wild?

Australian bird series: #1
