Let's hope for the best. It's going to be big enough to be noticed after all.

What sort of distance can these fellows fly? If the radio tag has gone, that doesn't so good. If the bird has gone fair enough, If the bird is there and tag has gone wrong, fair enough, when both happen together, It sounds like some possible intervention.

I am paranoid.

When I was very young ( about 50 years ago!) I had a toy crane, it was a Jones KL 44. How does that kind of thing stick for so long.

if it is a common crane they do travel long distances on migration from southern europe to south africa sp it could be well out of range

Perhaps it doesn't like the weather here much. It's turned pretty chilly suuddenly.

Juv. Common Crane at Beddington Farmlands yesterday. I assume it's not this Crane. I wonder where this young Crane is heading. I'd love to see one. And I think even I could spot a Crane.
