Common Crane Grus grus



These were taken in Lithuania last year and was part of a huge roost of many thousands of Common Crane. I tried to capture the essence of flight at Sunset.

With the lack of light content and the distance of these birds (possibly half a mile away) focussing was always going to be a problem. Couple with that, flight shots are never easy to get with any digiscoping camera.
