Baie de Txingudi

The Bidasoa which separates France and Spain flows into the Atlantic at Hendaye in a vast bay. Its location at the end of the Pyrenees and against the ocean makes it the obligatory passage for many migratory birds. The most assiduous will prospect the beach where the snow bunting can be observed in winter

The rest of the bay is very interesting in the same season to look for loons, mergansers, common eider ducks and other seabirds. The island should be observed around high tide to look for shorebirds in spring and fall.

On the Spanish side, two wetlands are to be done during the migrations: the ecological park of Plaiaundi and the marshes of Jaizubia. The diversity of species observed there is exceptional: maroons, waders of all species are the main ones, and the numerous facilities (observatories, trails) ensure very good moments.
