Mr. Black Stork [English subtitles] - Melnā stārķa kungs



Mr. Black Stork or Maris Strazds has been studying these beautiful birds and their behavior for forty years. It’s interesting to note that his love and relationship with these beautiful birds is longer than his relationship with his wife.
More than half of his life following black storks, Māris is aware that due to deforestation, the number of these birds in Latvia is rapidly approaching zero.
