- URDAIBAI RESERVE- Few years now the customs of White Storks are changing little by little.

It is more than a month that the first Stork was observed in Urdaibai, probably one of the males who came back to the same territory after being wintering somewhere in the south. It has been roaming the nest of the marsh in the nearby of Gautegiz-Arteaga, making continuous flights and calls to its partner.

Last weekend we observed two of the returned Storks taking the nest in front of the center. Yesterday we were able to verify and record a copulation between them. It is a good sign to corroborate the continuity of the species in Urdaibai.

Two years ago the tragic and famous death of "Uzelay, the Stork of Urdaibai" happened, in spite of that is gratifying to observe that every year the number of couples in Urdaibai is maintaining.

Come to the Urdaibai Bird Center and have a look at the marsh and these beautiful birds.
