REVELATION AND INSPIRATION — Guidance From God

A map tracing the intercontinental migratory flight route taken by the European White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is shown below. This flight-path between its nesting grounds in Europe and Russia and its wintering grounds in tropical Africa is known as the Mediterranean/ Black Sea Flyway. To avoid the harsh winters, these birds of Western Siberia and Central and Eastern Europe, migrate south in autumn to the warmer areas of Africa and Asia. In this long journey they have to negotiate the Ural Mountains and cross three seas — the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.
