Amazing sight and sound of wild Cranes on the Somerset Levels!

Extremely lucky to witness this flock of 24 wild Common Cranes flying right over my head and 'bugling' this afternoon at 16.30 on the Somerset Levels!
There were already at least 16 on the ground before they arrived, and another 2 flew in when I left, so that's at least 42 of these magnificent birds present!
Magic!

I didn't know they made that noise!! Neither did I know that they flew all together. Great footage.

[@CarlBovis]

Thank you very much Eliza! 😊 Yes, they're sociable birds, and their bugling call is wonderful to hear! 😊
