Little red rooster

Medieval festival in Burg Hayn, near Frankfurt. Great display of falconry with a variety of birds.
Every year thousands of cranes make a massive journey from the cold northern lands of Siberia and Canada to Izumi, Kagoshima prefecture, Japan to stay for the winter before heading back again in spring. There were about 30 birds that have stayed behind this year. Cranes are said to mate with one partner for life so I wonder if any of them were there just to be with an injured loved one.
Back to digital photos for a while until more negatives turn up in the post...
