40,000 must be a good sight
Quote from: mark smyth on October 22, 2007, 11:16:54 AM40,000 must be a good sightYes, but even 1000 are impressive. They are distributed over a large area, some were arriving and others left. But to watch around 1000 in the late afternoon landing is no overstatement.Gerd
Hi Gerd, super trip (I guess) & pics. Last year ~Oct/Nov. I watched ~50 impressive cranes (actually recognized their noise first) crossing my house in low altitude (40-60 meters estimated) late evening 11:00PM. Temperature was close to zero and sky was cloudy. I found this unnormal as I experienced they usually take a pause overnight staying in silent places like wet meadows or wild fields until they continue their trip next morning. Does anybody know cranes fly usually midnight - in the dark? Is this a normal behaviour?Armin, During the week in Zingst I noticed cranes in the air even around midnight - very loud - but to me it was a beautiful sound.Here around Solingen I saw most of these birds during afternoon and very rarely at dusk and sometimes heard them during the night. Sorry, don't know what is normal for them.Gerd
Lesley I would not drink any alcohol with the mushroom in MR buttercup's post since it gives the hangover of a lifetime. It is edible but without alcohol to drink!It is given to people with alcoholism/problem with alcohol so that they would not be able to drink.I am not 100% sure but in Sweden it is called ink mushroom and looks very similar and had similar name in English.I have enjoyed all the pics so thank You all.Regarding Rugby I must say that we in Sweden generally are totally indiferent to it.Kind regardsJoakim
