They have crossed to Africa!

The Ospreys of Urdaibai have made the great flight that separate them from Europe to Africa.

During this week the excitement has been maximum, as the Ospreys with satellite devices had arrived to the coast areas in the south of the peninsula and we felt that when weather conditions allow them, the continental jump would be imminent.

Each one in due course and making flights and routes completely different, have avoided strong winds and risks that entails the Alborán sea, the Strait of Gibraltar and the Gulf of Cádiz, and they have crossed the strip of sea that separate them from the vastness of African lands with great success.

From now on, we will be in hoped of many other challenges that they will have to overcome until they reach their wintering areas, such as big deserts, mountain ranges...
