Stork Migration
November and this is a regular sight on my strolls through the fields. Hunderds of storks arrived on their way south or maybe they are staying?

Thanks Katy! I wish I had a digiscope but...luckily I am a webdesigner and know how to fix my shots up a bit. Concerning the vocalizing: it seems there are some "leader" storks who make a "rattlling" their beaks (just like the sound 2 sticks would make) to give directions. This particular shot is when they were circling the waterreservoir after they were disturbed by some other people on the other side, they came right over my head! I did not hear them make other sounds. Soon I am out to the fields because this morning there passed a perfect V with some 20 cranes infron of my bedroom window, I hope I will find them in the reservoir.
