On the 15th of March, the Wildlife Park releases storks that have spent winter in the park and become stronger. There are two release dates during the year: the spring release in mid-March and the summer release in August. Among the injured or weakened captured storks, there are always some that are judged by the experts to be not ready to migrate due to their condition.
Guests arriving on the 10.00 a.m.,11.00 a.m. and 12.00 p.m. bus services can take part in the ringing and release of the White Storks.
