This live stream looks out over Urdaibai, the estuary and biosphere reserve on the Basque coast of northern Spain. It is a good choice for anyone who wants to see how the wetlands look right now or to plan a visit to this quiet corner of the Bay of Biscay.
About the place
Urdaibai lies along the Oka river estuary in Biscay province, not far from the coast. The area is protected as a UNESCO biosphere reserve because of its tidal marshes, mudflats, forests and farmland, which together support many migratory birds. Small villages, fishing ports and old farmhouses sit among the green hills, and the landscape changes noticeably with the tides.
What the camera can show
The camera is run by the Urdaibai Bird Center, so the view is likely to focus on the estuary and its wildlife rather than on towns. Depending on the angle, you may see water channels, reed beds or the wooded slopes around the bay. Mornings and late afternoons usually bring the best light, and the tide and season affect how many birds are visible. Check the weather block on this page before you watch.
Visiting and getting around
The Basque coast has a mild, damp climate with rain possible in every season, so a light waterproof is useful. Spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable for walking. The region is easy to reach by car from Bilbao. Nearby cameras on this site cover Lekeitio, about 15 km away, and Sopela, about 25 km away, if you want to compare coastal conditions.
