Keoladeo NP, Bharatpur, Jan 2019
Watching this Sarus crane family foraging was half an hour well spent. Found this in a corner that didn't have many people, so I had all the time in the world to get close, watch, and make some images.
The chick seemed very hungry and was very noisy, following the parents around and trying to snap at everything they caught, but the parents didn't share any morsel with the chick. After a while, only one parent foraged, with the chick still closely following it, and then the same happened with the other parent. I couldn't wait around long enough to see if the chick finally ate. Probably still just learning to find its own food.
I wish the light were better. Also, I realised too late that I should have been using a slightly shorter focal length.
