Our forest series is back – Black Storks Online!
On march 20th, the first day of spring, we are launching a new season of the Black Storks Online broadcast – symbolically starting the next chapter of this extraordinary story.
We’ve waited a long time for this moment… and it’s finally here! ahead of us is another season full of emotions, surprises, and unique moments from the life of one of the most mysterious inhabitants of our forests.
We would like to express our huge thanks to the project supervisor – prof. Piotr Zieliński from the university of Łódź – and the entire team for preparing the broadcast.
What will this season bring? Will the pair return to the nest? How many chicks will they manage to raise?
No one knows for sure… because in this series, mother nature itself writes the script.
we can't wait – how about you?
To wrap up, we’re sharing a video from last season, where Florentino arrives at the nest. It was a truly touching reunion – fer was already there waiting for him!
