Demoiselle Crane

Description:

Although this rare bird is not banded, there is doubt among Dutch birders about whether this is a real wild bird or an escape from a zoo or private collection.
In approaching it, it acted not very shy.
The second photo showes damage to its primaries and tertials, indicative of captive origin.
