In Poland Hawks are very good thermal indicators and they're quite
common.
Most of the time I find better lift when I move closer to them.

From what I've heard Eagles are even better but they're very rare here
and
I haven't had a pleasure of meeting one.

I would avoid White Storks, especially on weak days - they're great
soarers
but they're low wing loading let's them use thermals that would just
reduce
glider's descent rate a bit.
