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.

Clive Muir – Wildside Holidays – Walking, wildlife and culture holidays in Spain
I’ve been living in western Andalucía for more than 20 years and spend much of my time researching and running English-language travel websites about Spain. My work covers destinations including Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema and the Caminito del Rey, as well as Wildside Holidays, which focuses on walking, wildlife and nature travel in Spain.
Through Wildside Holidays, I share practical information about Spain’s natural parks, mountains, wildlife and walking destinations, drawing on many years of living and travelling in the country. The aim is to help visitors discover Spain’s natural landscapes responsibly and plan rewarding walking and wildlife experiences.
