Now, we are completing 120th Anniversary of Moscow Zoo series of postage stamps issued in this country.
The queue came up for a postage stamp with a face value of 5 kopecks of the USSR, which shows - Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum).
This bird appears on stamps around the world as it looks great.
Earlier, I talked about this bird, presenting you with the postage stamps of the African continent, where they actually live.
I had the opportunity to photograph Grey Crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) in the zoo of the city of Rivne, Ukraine.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
