Nice day trip for the cranes. Were seen flying past Cley this morning.

Will be interesting to see what the rest of the journey was.

They don't appear on Spurns day list so presumably didn't head that way.

Haven't found them lurking on CCP this morning!! :(

Would you be so kind as to advise in advance of next year's sighting? :lol:

Cheers
James

james a single bird passed long nab this morning and a further 6 were seen in northumberland heading north west at 11.00 hrs, so they probably roosted somewhere north of the humber. big birds like cranes do not move far unless the thermals are right.

terry whalin :D :wink:

ps will do my best with the crystal ball :lol:
