Grus canadensis

This bird was found by Thomas Varto Nielsen (TVN) and Thomas W. Johansen (TWJ)at Møn on May 27th 2013. TWJ found a Alpine Swift in the morning at Møn lighthouse, TVN didn't see the bird. 
At 12.27 pm TVN saw two Crane, he was surprised that one of the Cranes was clearly smaller than the other, and he got some photos of the birds. Looking at the photos it was a suprice to TVN that had a red crown! TVN was not sure and tried to call TWJ but he didn't managed, due to poor mobile coverage in some parts of the island. At appr. 13.00 pm. TVN found TWJ who clearly saw the bird, and at 13.15 the rest of Denmark knew of the bird, a photo was in the Birdcall and it was good enougt  to make the ID.
At 5.50 pm TWJ relocated the bird at Busemarke mose and it was seen by 100+ birders.
