Weather's about to get colder - just had our first grues fly over

Between five and six pm most afternoons, from now onwards we’ll have the delight of the cranes flying south for winter. :grin:
The locals hate it, because it’s a a sign of colder weather, but I’d much rather the sunny frosty days than all the rain we’ve had.

Already bloody freezing here! We had a cold north wind blowing all day! I think I heard some flying over earlier but was inside and didn’t see them. I love their spring and autumn fly overs, nature is a miracle :heart_eyes:

We had them fly over this evening in 33.

The flying of the grues always mean the time to change from shorts to long trousers - about time as it was getting a bit nippy. (the shorts come out again when the grues head north in the spring).

in 16 Charente - spotted the first formations flying over this week. Winter is coming! Heat is on and the fire in the lounge every evening.
