Unlike some airlines, birds have not been grounded by the bad weather, as shown by this flock of cranes moving into a V-formation over Nadur. BirdLife Malta said that over 820 cranes were spotted over the islands on Sunday and 160 were noticed over the south of Malta on Monday. Cranes migrate from Europe to Africa every autumn to avoid lack of food and the cold of European winters and Malta proves to be an ideal spot for rest, "refuelling" and catching thermal currents on which to glide on.
