For several days past a blue crane has been frequenting one of the shallow sandy beaches in the lower Harbour, says the "Star." This bird, which is said to be rare, was at firet mistaken for an Australian grey crane, but closer observation showed that its colour was distinctly blue. It is hoped that irresponsible pea-rifle users will not attempt to destroy the visitor.
