8. Here's a much longer video ...

Following winters in Africa, storks have been returning to their summer residences in Croatia every spring since ancient times. The weave their nests in close proximity to rivers, swamps and lakes, whose natural wealth guarantee the survival of their offspring. However, there are also many hunters in these locals. 18 Years ago a bullet found its way to the wing of a stork just before its first departure for Africa. The wounded bird was saved from sure death by a fisherman who took the bird home with him. This is how an unusual story of giving selflessly, loyalty and love started. It is a story that leaves no one untouched.
