Moments before the Sun rises on the horizon first masses of cranes getting airborne, leaving the lakes around heading towards feeding-places around. They fly some km to harvested field to feed and come back in the evening. It took half an hour before all cranes left the place.

Currently more than 100.000 cranes and countless of goose’s roost here for a few weeks before moving on south for overwinter survival.

Getting up early in the morning at 5:30 for arriving in Linum before Sunset is somewhat taxing. But coming to this scene with the air full of the voices of geese and cranes really compensates this.

If you ever wondered how it feels being in the perspective of the “prey” of a common kestrel. This female hovers over the typical peeing place of mice, waiting for them to come. Kestrels can see light in the UV-spectrum. And mice-pee is glowing awesome in UV. So. Imagine: You go to your favourite tree to relieve yourself and a giant bird first watches you for a while, then just eats you.
