Our love for nature and in this case especially for the migrating cranes, brought us in November to Germany, to the Diepholzer Moorniederung. This is a very large peat and agricultural area North of Osnabrück.
There was a good chance that we would encounter thousands of foraging cranes there. And luckily this was true! We saw lots of them, especially in quiet places, far away from villages and people. It was such a happy sight to see the adults with their young ones, enjoying the corn and grain the farmers left behind.
It gives them the nutrition they need to continue their long journey to Spain. It is incredible that they are capable of flying thousands of miles and that they know exactly where to go. Impressive, these elegant tall birds.
As you can see it was sometimes a bit foggy when we were there. But as far as we were concerned, a beautiful sight!
