Oh, lucky you! Still nothing here. Some years they stick closer to the coast and we miss them.
Yes, we saw them as well wave after wave of them, and very noisy. At one point there must have been more than a thôusand circling right above our house.

We had a glorious wave of Grues barking and flying overhead… this afternoon… in deepest 24
Nature is marvellous !!!
I’ve literally only seen 2 or 3 small flocks thus year. Are they confused by the heat or just flown a different path?
We have only seen a handful as well. They do choose different routes - wind directions probably. And some years we see loads. Hopefully we’ll be on their route when they are heading north again next spring.

Never ever seen any 
Thursday or Friday, we had just a small contingent.
about 50 grues flying overhead. A noisy, very slim v-shape heading South.
Haven’t seen or heard as many as usual this year in my neck of the woods? All migrating bird species seem to be in decline here. Over last two weeks in the garden we have an influx of blue and grey tits so I’m keeping the feeders full, sadly no sign of any long tailed tits.
