What is this?

Each crane has a unique combination of 3 coloured rings on their right leg. This marking code helps to identify the crane in the wild.

Character profile:

During the rearing phase, Green White Blue was a very shy bird with very pale colouring and small stature. Although she initially struggled when introduced to the large final cohort, she turned into an adventurous individual and is highly active.  It took her a few days to properly settle in the Somerset release enclosure, but has now found her place in the flock and is comfortable foraging and flying with them. As Autumn turned into Winter, the cranes began to flock together to look for food, which they found in plentiful supply in the form of Maize left in fields from the harvest. All 48 have been spending most of their time either feeding in the Maize stubble or down on Stan Moor, completely unpeturbed by the surrounding floodwater.
