Although white storks left Hungary very early this year – during the last days of July – some of them have stayed for the winter.
According to Ferenc Papp expert, the birds usually leave the country because they cannot find any food on the fields, however during the recent years we have not experienced very strong and stormy, snowy winter months, so the animals could stay in Europe during autumn and winter too.
In the winter of 2013-2014 twenty-eight white storks stayed in Hungary after summer, which was a record.
