Belarusian cranes are delayed in their migration: is it worth sounding the alarm? Photos and videos of cranes in different parts of the country are actively discussed on the Internet. Belarusians are concerned about birds. They say that last year the birds flew to warm latitudes much earlier. In the Ornithological Laboratory of the Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for Biological Resources, they advise to relieve anxiety. It is too early to worry about Belarusian cranes. In 2026, the migration of the cranes may be delayed compared to last year, but there is no reason to worry: the normal period for the migration of the cranes - and with them, by the way, the swans - is considered to be the period from the end of September to the beginning of November. So the phenomenon of "stuck cranes" does not indicate any danger to birds. The scientist also added that Belarus occupies one of the leading places in terms of stopping migratory cranes in the world. About 10,000 individuals stop every year in the Yelania lake alone.
