Tranor

On Saturday we visited Hornborgasjön to do some birdwatching. This time of year, thousands (10,600 the day of our visit) of cranes stop there on the way from their winter quarters in Spain to their breeding grounds further north. The birds were a fair distance from the viewing areas, so I took most of my photos with my old, non-digital SLR and telephoto lens; but we did manage to get this shot by holding up the point-and-shoot digital camera to my binoculars:
