From early autumn, usually the second half of September, cranes begin to arrive from Northern Europe to the Hortobagy National Park, one of Europe's largest flocking places of this large migratory bird species. The cranes stay in the wetland areas until the onset of severe frosts, then continue their long journey to the southern wintering grounds. EPA/Zsolt Czegledi HUNGARY OUT
