The great migration

Posted on 17/11/2022 by Patricia

High Fens of Belgium, Nov. 12-13, 2022. Weather conditions are fine, the atmosphere stable. The great migration is ongoing, more than 26000 cranes (Grus grus) were signalled on a single day travelling from Diepholz, Germany, to the North of Spain. The largest migration of this autumn, one of the largest in recent years… We alone estimated between 2000 and 3000 cranes seen flying on Saturday. The next days, much smaller groups only could be spotted in the sky.
