Descripción
Birds of the north of Europe fly to the Iberian Peninsula in winter, choosing Orueta lagoon as a wintering place. In winter we can see various species of waterfowl such us Ánade azulón, Cerceta Común, Cuchara Común or Ánade rabudo norteño. Also a very special bird arrives: Avetoro Común. Many lovers of the nature and photography come to the center and observatory trying to see this special bird. Spring is a very special period: it is the prenuptial migration of the birds. They fly from Africa to the north finding their breeding areas. In this period we can see Espátula Común, birds of prey such as Águila Pescadora, Milano Negro, Alcotán Europeo, Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental or the tireless waders, which stop in the lagoon to feed and rest. We also receive huge amounts of swallows, Vencejo Común and Avión Zapador, always flying around the lagoon in search of insects. But the lagoon is not only a rest area. Some birds, such as the Focha Común or Zampullín Común are resident and they use the lagoon to breed in spring and summer. Smaller birds like Carbonero Común, Herrerillo Común, Petirrojo Europeo, Mirlo Común, Carricero Común or Cistícola Buitrón also use this area to breed. Swallows seek the nests where they were born, to give rise to a new generation who will return next years. Cigüeña Blanca also like Urdaibai, and they breed in a nest we can see from the center. A beautiful moment where we see chickens for many species of birds with their parents. In summer and autumn, another special event for birds takes place also in Urdaibai Bird Center. The postnuptial migration, the big trip of many birds from Europe to Africa. We can see a lot of birds crossing our latitudes, including birds of prey, passerines and waders, on the way to their wintering areas in the south of Iberian Peninsula and Africa. It is common to see a lot of young birds born that year doing a stop in Orueta lagoon and some adults, which already know well their flyway. Birds of prey, herons, Espátula Común, waders, passerines, ducks.
Urdaibai Bird Center give the public the opportunity to see live broadcasts of the Urdaibai marshes. This images are output from Orueta lagoon in front of the Urdaibai Bird Center. It is a real live documentary.
Visitors of the center can enjoy the birds that come to the lake, the main protagonists of the marsh. Any time of the year is good to visit the center because birds are always on the wetland. Furthermore, types of birds you can see change depending on the period of the year, and this point makes each visit a different experience. But even if you can't visit, you can see them now from anywhere with our live broadcasts.
