Just seen a skein of cranes pass over, estimated c.100 in a single V flight (Southern Dordogne), flying south. They are very late, usually coming over about the last week of October. I did see a group of three or four at that time but probably missed the main migration during the following weeks.

Yeah but maybe the food and wine are not quite as good in Peterborough.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
I saw about 2000 in Poland in September of this year, flying over at dawn. Then saw a load more feeding in the stubble fields alongside the roads! They make such a lovely noise! My first ever Cranes, but hopefully not my last, I want to see them nesting next time :)
Home again, home again.
