Migration information
This morning, at 9 am, two V-shaped flocks of Common Cranes (Grus grus) passed above the Landes (SW France).
The first group of 57 cranes and the second of 18 birds were at about ten minutes from each other, flying southwards for wintering.
A perfect V for the first flock, more fanciful for the other!
The Landes shelter several thousands of cranes every year in Solferino, where the harvested corn fields provide them food enough.
