The magic of nature seen from the air balloon

For some years, the Lake of Der, the department of Aube in region Champagne-Ardenne has become the obliged passage for a lot of migratory birds which seem to have found repose, security and provision in the middle of this especially done up natural site where they are not bothered. Moreover, it allows the curious  types(neophytes for amateurs of « bird watching ») to notice them without importuning them. Among the number of these migratory species, the ash common cranes (about which they say that they would have revealed to Palamède several characters of alphabet) who, in autumn, meet by thousands to mark a pause in their migratory course taking them from Scandinavia to Andalusia.

Numerous posts of wooden carriages were divided around the lake, with accesses under cover, out of the view of birds. There is an even more spectacular manner of noticing this annual date with Nature: the observation of the takeoff of the ash common cranes, at daybreak, on board of a hot-air balloon! It is then an unique and marvellous show which presents itself to looks.

Already, their shouting covers the nature which awakes The skyline takes copper-coloured colours then and the sun appears slowly. A light fog covers the skyline and participates in the envoutante beauty of the ambient landscape. On the soil, agitation becomes stronger and, little by little, by small groups, birds take their takeoff, spining above the late as if to say to them that the time is pressing, that the winter approaches.
