Chasing Cranes

Spent a few hours this morning with Chris 'Roly' Rowland, hunting two Cranes out in the wilds of Dorset. After an hour of scanning fields with bins, we located them on a distant hilltop. Nice to meet a few fellow togging enthusiasts, and some birders, who were also at the scene, although in two locations.  The Cranes took off and headed down the river valley, and did not return while i was there.The local hunt appeared too, and there must have been an accident because there were ambulances in the air, and on the road. Maybe someone fell off their horse,,, don't know for sure. It started to rain, and i left the area at 1.00pm. This record shot is all i got,,, but that's the way it goes.
