Otmoor AM 25 August

2 common crane (both ringed) on Big Otmoor 8.45-10am, then took off circling higher & higher away over Ashgrave towards Beckley before drifting back & descending towards Greenaways. Seen again at 11am over Greenaways circling higher & higher until beyond MOD land, before drifting back down towards main reedbeds. Testing winds at altitude in preparation for departure?
