Common cranes gather into swamps in the end of summer to prepare for long migration to the south. To capture this photo I left my camera to the one such place for many weeks with trigger that took photos with a few minute interval at sunrise and sunset times. I was very lucky to find such photo on the camera card. A common crane family was waling on the foreground and a flock of cranes flying in the sky at the same time. And all of this in beautiful light at sunset.
This photo was highlighted by the jury in category “Animals in their environment” at the Estonian Nature Photo Competition 2016.
