The Urdaibai Bird Center is just like an airport. Birds come in to land from many different places and whilst some stay, others eat, rest and then depart again. Who knows where they are going! Iceland? Mauritania? Scotland?
However, it's not only the birds that arrive from far off places. Whilst most of our foreign visitors are from France, The Netherlands, Belgium or the UK they also come from as far afield as the USA, India, Australia or Colombia. What a range of languages are spoken by all these people!
Until now our audioguides have been available in Basque, Spanish, Catalan, English, German, French and Dutch. However in recent years, the number of Italians visiting the center has been on the increase.Thanks to the collaboration of our friends Leire and Haritz from Dilei in Gernika, we have now added Italian to the list of available languages. There are 2 versions of the Italian script - one for adults and one for children
We are sure that the addition of the new language will help give our visitors an improved experience. We want to share the wetland conservation message in as many languages as possible!
Finally, a big thank you to Haritz and Leire for all their help. We are ready for summer and we can now say "Benvenuto a Urdaibai Bird Center!" |
