Discover animals from towns and cities, the challenge of Kale Natura for this year
- The aim of the second edition of Kale Natura is to focus on birds, fish insects, mammals and animals in general found in the garden below the house, in the park, in the cracks of the walls, next to the river...
The initiative, organised by the Txatxilipurdi Association Guraso.eus, gave plants the lead last year, and this year has put animals on the front line. “Although the village model of recent decades has reduced the lives of towns and surrounding areas by cementing natural spaces, there are still birds that visit us, animals that are found in the most remote corners of towns, surviving insects or fish that reproduce in streams.”
Until May 31, people have been encouraged to take a photo and nominate it to animals found in neighborhoods, towns and cities. The photo can be sent by Whatsapp or Telegram (688 724 205) and by email komunikazioa@txatxilipurdi.eus.

The Brown Vulture
The Nature Cleaner
This bird, so popular in our country, is a stubborn rotten bird that has not brought it a good reputation. Some call it an eagle, a buitre, a futre, a hatxarrano or a mirusai; the official name is the brown sai (Gyps fulvus).

Works of art of the warning
Colorful, bright, in shapes as strange as beautiful, nudibranchs seem to be coming beings from another planet. These naked creatures of the seabed dress the vivid colors of the crests of the 1980s and the architectural fashion of the great names of the Parisian seam.

Gold in the head, most in aquaculture
There are several species that seem forced to always remain in the fishmongers. A fish among them has a special glow, because it looks at us with a golden crown: golden (also in Spanish, obeying the same characteristic, golden). Along with them there is a lot that look like... [+]
