Or....
1st Crane "Where are all the others?"
2nd Crane "Told you we shouldn't have stopped for coffee!"
1st Crane "We didn't stop long."
2nd Crane "Yes, but if you'd had a double espresso like me, you'd be all fired up to fly faster! Instead, you had to have a grand café créme...."
At 4:15 pm a pair,.... yes, just a pair, of Common cranes [grus grus] flew over our house.
There were no others to be seen.... and we didn't hear any either.
But they were desperately trying to form a V!!

We had a V yesterday with 1 who obviously also hadn't had an espresso. I was too far away from the house to rush in, get camera and get back outside in time to take a pic. SIGH!
Looks like they are coming in dribs and drabs at the moment! On Monday there was definately a flight, that Pauline heard first and called me, which must have passed over Petit Pressigny... it was the other side of the hill south of us and receeeeeding! Sounded like quite a lot.
