This Sunday, October 27th at 12:30 pm  will take place in the civic center of the neighborhood Kanala, a conference on the recovery of the osprey in Urdaibai . This project has been developed succesfully during this summer by the technical team of Urdaibai Bird Center in collaboration with experts from the Highland Foundation for Wildlife of Scotland, as they have been released 12 young ospreys from Scotland after an acclimatization period in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve  with the intention that in the near future these birds may breed in Urdaibai .

 

In order to know the ecology of this bird and the complex process by which the Osprey is recovering in other areas of the world , Aitor Galarza , project director , will give a talk so that people interested and neighbors of Gautegiz Arteaga and Ibarrangelu know about  this pioneering project, which aim is to get one of Europe 's most iconic birds return to breed in the Cantabrian . Several of these birds have a satellite tracking device that lets us know bird´s exact location every day and can be accessed at the following web address : http://www.birdcenter.org/en/projects/proyectos-de-seguimiento-mediante-nuevas-tecnologias/237

 

 

It also will provide updates on the status of birds released between the months of July and August in the marshes of Urdaibai , thanks to tracking devices attached carrying 5 of them .

 

Admission is free.
