Common cranes stop over in Shanxi during autumn migration

As autumn migration gets underway, common cranes are arriving at Sanggan River National Wetland Park in Datong, Shanxi Province, northern China. The birds rest and forage in the wetlands before continuing their journey south. Common cranes arrive from October and typically stay until December, building up energy for the next leg of their migration. The wetland serves as an important stopover along their seasonal journey.
