Black Necked Cranes have arrived!

 ... welcome back to Bhutan 



Yesterday, Gangtey, Bhutan welcomed four Black Necked Cranes back to the valley! 

These majestic winter visitors have flown all the way from the Tibetan Plateau to spend about four months in Bhutan before returning to their summer breeding ground. 

It is said that when they arrive, they circle Gangtey Monastery three times before landing and repeat the ritual again before they depart.

 The farmers of the valley believe that the presence of these beautiful birds bring blessings to their crops and to the local community the birds signify longevity, peace and prosperity.
