The Hides
Bird observatoriesWHAT ARE THE HIDES?
Hides enable one to observe and/or photograph wild animals without bothering them and without interfering with their natural behaviour.
They can be used at any time of the year. In fact, birds come to feed, bathe themselves or drink every month of the year, but their use is especially recommendable in winter as birds come to feed more regularly and in larger numbers. Both Iturria and Urbigain can be fitted with heaters so that visitors can use these hides even under extreme weather conditions.
