Winter - 39 (Anthropoides virgo)

Winter - 39 ...

Caught up with these
beauties after a gap
of five seasons ...

Large flocks of them
arrive in India
during winters ... to
coastal wetlands and
villages ... sometimes
gathering in groups
of thousands ...

One place in Rajasthan
village Khichan
in India has received
International
attention for this ...
Over 20,000 cranes collect
there during winters ...

villagers at Khichan
keep large sacks of grain
that they offer to
these guests in transit ...

Watch them in a video-clip ...
