You’ll be amazed at what these organisms look like under a microscope!

'Storks at the Zwin’ exhibition

With this exhibition, the Zwin Nature Park turns the spotlight on its storks. We asked whether the visitors had any specific questions about the stork. We then incorporated these questions into our stork exhibition!
