On the morning of the 15th November we had the amazing opportunity to see a bittern flying over the marshes in front of the Urdaibai Bird Center.avetoro1

This was not the first sighting, however. On Saturday 9th birdwatchers reported having seen the bird from the hide in Orueta.

The bittern is a rare species in Urdaibai. Although some individuals winter here every year, it is still quite elusive so getting a glimpse of it is a great pleasure.

Let´s hope that many more birdwatchers will be lucky enough to see this beautiful bird from the observatories this winter. Why not join us and see if the bittern appears!
