Last week pictures and video were posted on Facebook with thousands of Storks flying over Istanbul (Turkey), riding the upward-winds on their route to Africa.
This eastern route will take most of them down along the Nile into the eastern and south-eastern parts of Africa.
The other main route is along the coast of France and Spain, then across the Mediterranean and into the western countries (Morocco, Tjaad)
Hundreds in and over a field. You can hear a lot of camera's clicking
: This video shows a few hundred Storks flying over a neighbourhood, quite low, probably landing nearby:
