Although I had my camera at hand, I didn't manage to get a great shot.<br />As for autumn, it's definitely here now too. Yesterday morning was still sunny and warm. Today is gloomy and rain and wind are expected overnight.

Here in northern Scotland it's actually dry and stil very mild for the time of year.<br /><br />I really envy your actually seeing and hearig cranes in flight. The nearest we come to this V-shaped migration formation is with the Canada geese who occasionally fly over us in Mid-Wales and that just doesn't seem as exotic.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-46998060926939605762011-11-06T14:44:02.206+01:002011-11-06T14:44:02.206+01:00Hello Niall and Antoinette:
