Cranes in the rain

 On site at 6am dark with no birds, I was sat on the bales in the rain 7:30am the noise of 19 Common Crane flew in honking to grace the stubble fields outside Middleton Cork,.
A wet morning with no light makes any photography very difficult,
Never the less its nice to have seen these birds and what a start to the day.
