Introduced by Peter Scott.

Each spring the country people of Schleswig-Holstein welcome back the storks by arranging supports and supplies of twigs on their roofs which the birds can use for nest-building. Fortunately the stork is regarded as a lucky bird. for without the co-operation of the farmers it could scarcely survive and rear its young.
The film tells the story of this co-operation through a single summer from the arrival of the male storks, through courtship, mating, egg-laying, and brooding, to the departure of the young birds on their winter migration.
