Summary of Friday
Crane Sookurg Grus grus
On Friday afternoon the first major migration wave of cranes reached western
The birds that have made a pause in their migration feed in daytime in the harvested grain fields. People who use the roads will notice cranes more frequently now.
Today the wind does not favour the migrants, there was a south-westerly wind up to 15 m/s. But the cranes that had already arrived could be seen and heard from seven o’clock in the afternoon.

Last night Anti Karlin sent the map showing the resting areas of the Finnish cranes.
On the map of
Cranes will be introduced in more detail next week.
