White Stork Migration Map - Breeding and Wintering Ranges Explained #1886421 (License: Personal Use)

The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) breeds across temperate Europe and western Asia, then migrates southward along well-defined flyways-primarily through the Levant and Gibraltar-to spend winters in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South Asia. Key stopover sites include the Nile Valley, Sahel region, and Indian subcontinent, where storks forage in wetlands and open grasslands. The map highlights population-specific routes, including the eastern and western migration corridors that avoid crossing large water bodies.
