The most rarest crane in East Asia, formerly placed in genus Grus but now is more generally accepted as its own monotypic genus Leucogeranus. Nearly 90% of its global population winters in Poyang Lake, however, they are facing great stress due to habitat change and hence clarified as an Critically Endangered species in the IUCN Red List. There are two records in HK. And we were very lucky to get a shot of the long-wintering adult with its juvenile, which only stayed for 2-3 days in Mai Po.
