Cranes Make Annual Migration Across Europe

LINUM, GERMANY - OCTOBER 19: A bird-watching enthusiast looks on as waves of cranes return from foraging for food during the day to spend the night in the marshes on October 19, 2014 near Linum, Germany. The Linum marshes are a major stopping point for cranes and other birds migrating from Scandinavia south to Spain and northern Africa. According to NABU, the German nature-protection federation, there are currently 117,000 cranes at Linum and at least 200,000 in Germany, where they are resting and feeding for several weeks before continuing south.
