I think our house is in some kind of dip that is good for thermals - as they always seem to pause here to swirl around, gain height and head off south or north, depending on which time of year it is.
Watching them pass, as you must - it's obligatory, it's hard to imagine just how huge they are. I think I am correct in that they have a wingspan of about a metre.
Anyway, I just thought i'd share them with you.
They're beautiful! I've never seen cranes flying in a group like that, but it must be fab!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I only saw them once, in all my years in France.
ReplyDeleteWe must be on the direct flight path, but yes, they are pretty amazing especially with the hooting cry they make.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, when we make the move permanent I must remember to keep my eyes and ears open. Yes your cranes are so much better than por Jans. That must be a nightmare. Diane
ReplyDeleteI know, poor Jan, I read her blog with a sinking heart for her, it's awful
ReplyDeleteAh, cranes. Absolutely fab sight. They pass over our area twice a year. Thought the last of them flew south a few weeks back. Obviously I was wrong. Looking forward to them flying back next spring.
ReplyDeleteI want your hat Tommo lol!!
