This programme tells the story of a bird know and loved by everyone; the white stork. This delightful documentary show the storks in their hardly known winter quarters in Africa, accompanies them on their flight back north and follows them to various habitats across Europe. To the lush wetlands along the river March, just a few miles outside Vienna, where one of Europe's biggest colonies of tree-nesting storks congregates on mighty oak trees to raise their young, as well as to Spain, Western Europe's number one stork country, with the largest breeding colonies conquering every possible niche. Innovative camera techniques provide amazing insights into breeding behaviour, hatching and stork migration, placing the viewer smack in the middle of true stork life.
