Global warming makes French reservoir a winter resort for migrating cranes

Common cranes walk in a field near Lac du Der near Giffaumont-Champaubert on January 31, 2025. Every year, tens of thousands of common cranes spend the winter on Lac du Der, between the Marne and Haute-Marne regions. It's a situation that is reshaping the local ecosystem, sometimes at breakneck speed. While most of the sandhill cranes that pass through France continue on their way to Spain or even Morocco, as they always have, between 20,000 and 30,000 of them spend the winter on the banks of Lac du Der, an artificial reservoir created in the 1970s to regulate the flow of the Seine.

South Africa's colourful minstrel carnival draws thousands

Kaapse Klopse minstrels dance as their troupe moves forward during the annual Kaapse Klopse parade, also known as "Tweede Nuwe Jaar" (second New Year), in Cape Town on January 4, 2025. Thousands of colourfully costumed minstrels paraded through Cape Town Saturday in an exuberant century-old carnival rooted in the South African city's history of slavery that drew large crowds of spectators. In glitzy uniforms matched with flashy hats, parasols and face paint, the marchers walked and danced through the city's historic centre in an annual event that an organiser said had grown to become the biggest such parade on the continent.
