Just practising!

I saw these four cranes on the way back from walking the dogs.
I suspect it’s the same ones I saw earlier in the year, two adults and two young.
I watched them for some time, but they took off when a flock of geese passed by, but they only “hopped” over the road.
I guess it won’t be long before they leave Scotland for -
England, Spain, Eastern Europe!!
No one really knows
I’m looking forward to seeing them again next year.
P.S. many years ago, I used to tell our children that the white thing in the photo was a golf ball for giants!!!
