Figure 1 : A family of the monogamous Grey Crowned CraneBalearica regulorum [Bennette, 1834] in a typical grassland
habitat, Lake Ol’ Bolossat. Sexes of adult breeding pairs are alike,
except the male (C) is slightly larger than the female (A). Young cranes
(B, D) attain full adult features at c.24 months of age (Pomeroy, 1980).

Figure 2: Map showing the location of Lake Ol’ Bolossat and
distribution of territorial pairs during the 2017/2018 breeding season
in each of the lake’s sections.
Figure 3: Relationship between nesting probability and the
three most important predictor variables. Points indicate either
presence (1) or absence (0) of crane nests, and lines and shaded areas
are, respectively, fitted values and standard errors.
