In the spring that has already arrived, most of the white storks nesting in Belozem occupied their nests, and probably the last snow of this winter literally covered them.Although the sight is not at all common, it is not that worrying for the birds and their future generation. The stork families are not seriously disturbed by the snowy conditions and continue to be inseparable from their nests, and those that have already laid their eggs patiently incubate them. Given that the surprising winter weather is expected to be short-lived and the snow will not last long, the storks will cope with the bad weather conditions and can easily survive a day or two without food. This is not a precedent for the area, as a few years ago the villagers witnessed a similar sight at the end of March.

For the fifteenth time in a row Community Centre “Prosveta 1909" in Belozem, Municipality of Rakovski, the Council of Belozem, Primary School Geo Milev and Green Balkans NGOs will host the White Stork Festival.
The official opening is on 15^th May (Saturday), 2021 at 10 am at the White Stork Park, Belozem, Municipality of Rakovski.

The first white storks which arrived to Belozem, literary a few days ago, selected one of the artificial nests placed on the roof of the Community Centre Prosveta 1909.
