10,000 cranes were counted at Hornborgasjön at the end of last week, reports P4 Skaraborg.
Cranes that stop over at the lake on their way north are usually a popular spring sign – now it's the opposite. Thousands of cranes heading south are a signal that autumn is here.
Now they're coming here and resting on their way south. Most take themselves down to Spain but some stay already in France or Germany, says Malin Herin, manager at Naturum Hornborgasjön, to P4.
