Three species of cranes

A pair of Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis) with a Hooded Crane (Grus monacha) behind them, and a pair of White-naped Cranes (Antigone vipio) on the right. The bulk of the cranes at Arasaki are the latter two species. A few Sandhill and Common Cranes are here each year. According to the board at the observatory there are currently just two Sandhill Cranes (which I saw, obviously) and five Common Cranes (of which I saw one).

Fantastic shot! There aren't many places where you can find four species of cranes together!

Amazing!!! I've always wanted to witness the great crane migrations in Kyushu!! Were there any reports of Siberian Cranes this year? I know they also visit infrequently

@Dr. Wolverine there were none listed on the board, just the four species mentioned.

Amazing to see them all together like that!
