Cranes, a sign of spring in Skåne, are gathering at Pulken in Kristianstad to rest and feed. They are tired and hungry after their flight across the Baltic Sea and can be a bit unruly, according to crane feeder Bosse Svensson. The cranes are about one meter tall and need a lot of food.

They live in monogamy and can become about 20 years old. Bosse Svensson, a former farmer, has the task of feeding the cranes with barley twice a day. The County Administrative Board pays half the cost, and the Kristianstad lagerhusförening, run by farmers, donates the other half.
