The sight of the cranes who fly over the fields and move to their sleeping places at sunset offers a unique spectacle. The weather was perfect, especially on the evening of the day of German unity. While the sun immersed the sky into a warm evening red, the cranes gathered in large swarms in the air. The spectacle of these animals is not only a pleasure for the eyes, but also an occasion for many bird observers who travel to the region to experience the events up close.

The cranes who return to their breeding area from Northern Europe in spring live a nomadic life in the autumn months. These swarms can be observed well on their way from Scandinavia or the Baltic States in the direction of their winter quarters in France, Spain or North Africa. Olaf Schmidt from the BUND for Environmental and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND) points out that around 300,000 cranes move to the region on them. This regular visit represents a unique natural event and enhances the biodiversity of the region.

For nature lovers and photographers, there are wonderful opportunities to observe and capture the cranes in their natural habitat. The Diepholz Moorneilung not only becomes the retreat of the cranes, but also to a scene of impressive nature experiences. It is to be hoped that the cranes will continue to rest in this beautiful region in the coming weeks and inspire visitors to stand up to protect these majestic animals and their habitats.
