Still lots of tits but we did see the cranes as well.

Photography has not been easy, we have had dull grey days with lots and lots of rain!!

Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) hanging on the window shutters...

As above - on the window sill turning its back on me...

and looking around...

finding a wire to swing on.

Great Tit (Parus major).

Common crane (Grus grus). The main migration is October to December with them wintering at various places stretching from north-eastern France to Morocco, with various locations in between, however, the majority will probably end up in Spain.  We are lucky enough to live on their migration route.

We have had a lot of rain and the window sill seems popular for some protection.
