🐦Common Crane
Tranen (latin: Grus grus) er en stor, langbenet fugl, der findes i Europa, Asien og Afrika, hovedsageligt i vådområder. Da Grus grus er den eneste regelmæssigt forekommende art i Danmark kaldes den blot "trane", men der er i alt 15 trane-arter, hvoraf jomfrutranen (Grus virgo) og prærietranen (Grus canadensis) er meget sjældne besøgende i landet. I Danmark forsvandt tranen som ynglefugl i midten af 1800-tallet, men genindvandrede i 1953. I de efterfølgende årtier forblev bestanden meget lille (under fem ynglepar), men langt større antal trækker over Danmark mellem yngleområder i det øvrige Skandinavien og overvintringsområder i Sydeuropa. Siden 1990'erne er den danske ynglebestand vokset hurtigt, og var på over 750 par i 2022. Samtidig er et stigende antal traner begyndt at overvintre i Danmark.
