From September to November tens of thousands of Cranes use the rural area close to the German Capital for a stopover during their migration from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe to their wintering quarters in Spain. The agricultural plains surrounding Berlin are among the biggest Crane roosts in entire Europe with several tens of thousands birds gathering during the peak of migration between September and November.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "BM2E59S12YI01" we are transported to the serene beauty of a German lake in Brandenburg, just outside Berlin. The image captures the enchanting sight of a group of Common Cranes gathering at their night-roost during the break of dawn on September 26,2009. As autumn sets in, tens of thousands of these majestic birds make a stopover in this rural area near the German capital while migrating from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe to their wintering grounds in Spain. The vast agricultural plains surrounding Berlin serve as one of Europe's largest Crane roosts, attracting several tens of thousands of these graceful creatures during the peak migration season between September and November. The photograph by Thomas Krumenacker beautifully showcases the tranquil atmosphere enveloping the lake as soft morning light bathes everything in its gentle glow. Against this ethereal backdrop, we witness nature's spectacle unfold as these elegant Cranes gracefully congregate together, creating an awe-inspiring scene that is both humbling and breathtaking. Through this image captured by Reuters Images, we are reminded once again of nature's wonders and its ability to bring us moments filled with tranquility and wonderment. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst our bustling human lives, there exists a world where migratory birds embark on incredible journeys connecting distant lands—a testament to resilience and harmony within our natural world.
