Beautiful! Looks very similar to the american Whooping Crane, that has only less than 400 birds left in the wild)
Good grouping! Well done! Cheers, Klaus

Hello Boguslaw,
Excellent capture of a group of Common Cranes in a fine composition.
They have already come to Poland! They are early this year: I have seen 9 today in S. Sweden.
Well done and thank you!
Ivan

Piękne ptaki. Będac na mojej działce nad Jeziorem Strykowskim (Wielkopolska) często słyszę je przed wieczorem lub rano. To charakterystyczne skrzypienie roznosi się na kilometry nad powierzchnią wody. Są tam też czaple siwe, wytrawni ławcy ryb polujace nad wodą obok coraz popwszechniejszych tutaj kormoranów. Jedne i drugie są daleko (ok. 300-400m) od mojego stanowiska... Piękny kadr, bardzo ładne stadko pięknie uchwycone w charakterystycznych pozach. Świetna głębia ostrości i ładna jakość zdjęcia.
Pozdrawiam,
Jurek
