The photo was taken on 2 January at 10.15am. Usually, returning cranes herald the advent of the spring season when they return to northern Europe after an extended "winter break" in the south.

However, this migration usually takes place a little later, towards the end of February and during the month of March.

It is not known whether the group of cranes spotted above Belair was heading south or actually flying back towards the north.

Should you spot any more cranes in the skies above Luxembourg, please send in a picture  and drop us an e-mail to audience@rtltoday.lu!
