UPDATE: Just over 5 years later, night of 7th November 2024, 83 Cranes into roost at Welney.
There is a flock of 37 Cranes (Grus grus) at WWT Welney in Norfolk at the moment. Some of these have bred on the reserve, all of them, it seems, share their time between this site, NT Wicken Fen, Kingfisher’s Bridge Nature Reserve, RSPB Lakenheath, and the Ouse Washes.
Photos were taken from the Visitor Centre viewing platform, fully zoomed (600mm on a full-frame SLR) and cropped. The birds were about 900m away so the photos are not particularly distinct.
