Eurasian Crane





It's the time of the year to see thousands (well in this case hundreds) of migrating Cranes while they rest before they continue their way to north Scandinavia where they will build a nest and raise their offspring. 

I took following photos just half an hour south of here where they are feeding and resting, and they do so every year between begin of March and end of April. 
It's quite spectacular to watch, even from a distance. 
They parade and dance for each other AND they make lots of noise too.
