The first ever known “albino” Osprey chick has hatched in the Urdaibai biosphere reserve in the Basque country.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the albino chick died within a few days as it seemed it sight was impaired and only fed a couple of times. The female removed it from the nest a few hours after it died. The two remaining Chicks are growing rapidly on their fish diet.

I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain.
