Скачать или смотреть Common crane : flight : RSPB Nene Washes

Flock of more than 50 overwintering Common crane (Grus grus) in flight above the washland landscape of RSPB Nene Washes, Eldernell.

Not impressive numbers compared to those seen at many sites around the world, but this was the most I'd ever seen together in the UK.

Location: RSPB Nene Washes nature reserve, Cambridgeshire, UK
Date: 28 January 2023

Clip is one quarter-speed slomo. No audio unfortunately, as I'd switched the microphone off -- not that the audio would've been usable anyway, as I happened to be taking a break in the carpark at the time, and was surrounded by several people trying to tell the rest of their respective parties where the cranes were! :)

Filmed using an #iphone12pro attached to an Opticron field scope -- a technique sometimes known as #'phonescoping, a subcategory of #digiscoping
