Because of this situation, thousands of Common Cranes (Grus grus) apeared in migration around Catalunya, specially all along the coastline.
I take some information from www.ornitho.cat about the "Crane invasion":
- +10.800 observations in a single day!
- Look at the map: in yellow the sightings of 28-10 and in red, the 29-10 observations:

At the morning I was in l'Aiguamoll de la Bòbila another time. I saw 9 Common Teals (Anas crecca), a female Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata), a Redwing (Turdus iliacus), +40 Reed Buntings (Emberiza schoeniclus) and +70 Common Linnets (Carduelis cannabina) as the most interesting birds.
Later, I went woth Jordi Comellas to La Corbatera, where we didn't saw anything special. Just when we were talking about the Crane's 'invasion', we saw a group of 39 birds flying, in migration. We could take some photos.
Later, we visited a sunflower land in order to look for some Fringillidae. We saw +100 Common Linnets (Carduelis cannabina), lots of Chaffinches (Fringilla coelebs), Goldfinches (Carduelis carduelis), Serins (Serinus serinus), 2 Bramblings (Fringilla montifringilla) and also some White Wagtails (Motacilla alba). It's a good place to expect a Lesser Redpoll (Carduelis cabaret), or maybe a Common Redpoll (Carduelis flammea)...
