Pueblonuevo del Bullaque, next to the Cabañeros National Park is the best place I've found to approaching and photographing cranes. Looking to the east, to the harvested corn fields from the houses near the abandoned gas station is easy to see cranes close in the winter. The photos are taken from the coordinates 39º 18' N 4th 15.46'' 20.99'' 15' W.
This year I've posted pictures of cranes from that site. But only once I was lucky they were located nearby. It was in jannuary 2011. I was searching these photos on hard drives for publication time ago, but only this month I found them.
So I publish them before the crane season is over, and they will go to their breeding grounds in northern Europe and Russia.
