Black-necked Crane at Qing-zang Plateau

The Qing-zang Plateau, often called the roof of the world, forms one of the highest and most extensive elevated regions on Earth, its immense open grasslands and arid steppe dominating the Tibetan landscape. It is here, amid this vast highland scenery, that photographers joining NaturesLens' Tibetan Wildlife of the Qing-Zang Plateau holiday can seek out the Black-necked Crane. November offers the best opportunity to visit, allowing time to work with the plateau's expansive, open terrain when composing images of this striking species. Patience and an appreciation for the scale of the landscape will serve photographers well when framing the cranes against such an immense backdrop.
