Due to the abnormally warm autumn, almost 200,000 cranes did not leave Hungary.
Usually migratory birds stop here for a short rest during seasonal migration from Northern Europe to Africa. However, this autumn, flocks of cranes decided to stay for the winter in the national parks of Hungary, where they were attracted not only by temperatures above 20 degrees, but also by amphibious lakes and vegetation-rich fields of the Middle Danube Lowland.
According to climatologists, the temperature regime of the planet is increasing more and more. And this year, world records have been broken for all the time of observations. According to Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the European Climate Change Service, the average global air temperature in October this year was 1.7 degrees Celsius higher than in the years of the pre-industrial era.
This is associated not only with the problem of greenhouse gases, which has not yet been solved, but also with the return of El Nino, a natural phenomenon that periodically heats the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Thus, some more heat is added to the overheated atmosphere of the Earth. Scientists are concerned about accelerating climate change. But the cranes liked the warming in Europe.
