The four of these Sandhill cranes was the only ones we saw of this species. And they were so hard to find. 

I am happy that I got some useful shots at all. A few of them spend the winter in the south of Japan. This day they were surprised by the snow.

Two common birds where I live in Sweden was also found in Japan. To my surprise. 

I´m a bit unsure about the crane next to the ad crane. I think it is a young common crane as there was no other cranes with a black patch below the bill. But I have never seen this coloring. On he other hand they are never in Sweden at this time of the year.
