The schools of Urretxindorra in Muxika and Montorre in Gautegiz Arteaga have made a video clip with a song dedicated to the Osprey in Urdaibai. This song has been composed by Unai Egia, one of the teachers of Urretxindorra school, and it is the result of a hard work in which have taken part teachers, students and parents of both schools. Both, Urrentxindorra and Montorre, apart from the projects that they carry out in collaboration with the Urdaibai Bird Center in the field of environmental education and the study of the birds of Urdaibai, have a certification of sustainable school which values the behavior of the whole school  as a sustainable entity. This certification was renewed by Montorre school last 5th of June, World Environmental Day, in the presence of the President of the Basque Country Iñigo Urkullu and the Responsible of the Department of Education of the Basque Government.

The President Iñigo Urkullu, the Minister of Education Cristina Uriarte and the Minister of Environment Ana Oregi together with students of Montorre school and its director Jose Luis Bardón receiving the certificate.

This work is inside the international project called "Osprey migration linking communities", that tries to link and share cultural and environmental experiences between different schools of the world linked by the flyways of the Ospreys. Besides this video clip, students and teachers of both schools have translate to Basque and Spanish a Scottish children's book entitled "Ozzie's journey" that it is about Ospreys born in Scotland, contributing like this to strengthen cultural bonds between two communities that share a common natural heritage: the Osprey.
