Habits
Gallocanta constitutes an ideal habitat for the wintering of this species, counting on vast agricultural extensions where they feed during day time and areas of shallow water where they find refuge for roosting. At nightfall thousands of individuals arrive to the lagoon. This sequence belongs to the season 2008/2009, which registered the highest numbers of wintering cranes for this locality, with 23.000 individuals.
