Twenty-one white storks, most of whom hatched on Bodmin Moor this year, were released on Thursday. They will probably spend a couple of months in Cornwall getting used to freedom before heading south for the winter, perhaps to southern Spain or Morocco. If all goes well, they will return in a few years' time to the area where they hatched and produce their own young.
