Ciconia ciconia

Observations:

  • Near Wadi Sora (Gilf Kebir), October 2002
  • West of Gilf Kebir (on sand plain), October 2005
  • Clayton's Craters (at foot of Crater B), March 2007

    No live storks were seen in the Libyan Desert, only mummified remains on the sand plain to the west of the Gilf Kebir plateau, near Wadi Sora, and at Clayton's Craters. However the migration route certainly passes over the Libyan Desert.
