According to this article: Fascinating birds migration at EuroBirdwatch 2008:

Over the past weekend, 50.000 adults and children from over 30 European countries took up EuroBirdwatch 2008, BirdLife's invitation to observe the fascinating migration, as birds move south across Europe for the winter.
BirdLife Partners across Europe were involved - from Portugal to Turkey; Malta to Norway - between them putting together 2.700 different events.
And once again birds didn't disappoint: attendees counted 2.3 million of them passing overhead.
