Character profile:

Elle shares a May Day birthday with Trinny and has no sibling. It was the last of the first batch of transported eggs to hatch. Elle is a very nervous crane is scared of the aggressive cranes - particulalry Yellow Green (its neighbour). It generally forages alone from the group. August: Elle has grown into a stunning bird with very long legs with a beautiful gingery tinge to her feathers. She looks extremely graceful in flight.... and developed the nickname Elle in reference to Elle McPherson. Elle really does have a super-model figure, and is one of the tallest cranes and is getting less scared of the others as she grows up! OCT UPDATE: Elle is a fine and well integrated member of the flock of mixed 2010 and 2011 birds that are regulalry being seen out and about foraging across the Moors.
