Blimey. It's no time since we saw crane flying SW and the first lot flying NE has just flown overhead!!!!!!!!!!

Good news! Unless they're the Michael Fishes of the grue world, of course

We had some go over our house at about 3 o clock this afternoon.

I well know that i've given up on forums, but I must post that for the first time in a couple of years today thousands and thousands of grues have flown over , still are as I post, in our old age its brought tears to our eyes.
That on top of dozens of cattle egrets in the garden this afternoon

Just had some flying low over here too. It gets us too, everytime!

They must have changed their flight paths, none over here.
Lots of egrets all winter though.

I think they may have regretted flying over this way last night. First time I've woken in the night feeling like I'm in a freezer - despite all the blankets. That's a blimin' hard frost out there - defying what the forecast said!

Whilst we've had strong NE winds blowing this week incredibly the grues are still flying directly against it in their determination to migrate to their summer houses. We have a heavy frost this morning too and a uniformly light grey sky has replaced yesterday's cloudless one.

We've had them going over for weeks in generally small groups, but yesterday's bunch was huge and raucous!

Yep hard frost this morning here too.
