Autumn is not far. Common cranes are gathering to their traditional sleeping places. I put my tent to one such a wild place already in spring. It is unbelievable experience when a choir of thousands of cranes is making their trumpet sounds around you. Usually I only get to enjoy their sounds as the cranes arrive in dark and leave before dawn when there is not enough light for photography. This time a was lucky and got to take a few shots in the early morning before cranes left.
This photo was highlighted by the jury in the category “Animals in their environment” at the Estonian Nature Photo Competition 2013.
