Now Cranes are not an unusual sight in winter in the south of Spain, and I had already seen very small groups of them flying around La Janda, but this week's encounter was absolutely unforgettable: a huge flock of over 1,500 birds gathering in a field. Together with the sighting of a Black Vulture it made for an unbelievable birding day. A few more images on my blog (link in profile).
