This 30 August 2016 video is about a group of white storks in Dutch nature reserve De Peel.
Hans Melters made the video.
Presumably, the flock are preparing for autumn migration to Africa.

I don’t hear that but the flow of air when they are passing sailing. Lately there were four in a row… what a sight!

Thanks for your kind words 🙂 This bill sound is basically their only sound for communication.

I love that sound! Thank you very much for sharing. I heard it when they were down on the floor. But when flying it is stunning to hear the sound their wings make. Such big and majestic birds!

Soon, most of them will be gone to Africa. However, a few will winter in Europe.
