Just returned from a few days of wildlife photography in Spain where the target species were Bonelli’s eagle, golden eagle and great bustard. I’m glad to report all these species were successfully photographed and a whole lot more besides! The images below are my first edits and just a small sample to give a flavour of the trip. As well as the birds, the wildflowers were spectacular and I would have liked to have had a few days longer just to photograph some of the incredible variety of plants as well as the superb landscape. We were based on the Spain-Portugal border for the eagles and then moved to the Steppe area around Villafafilla for the bustards. I will post more images and details over the next week or so, but first, I have to catch up with the edits from all my commercial shoots taken just before I left for Spain as I have a whole raft of shoots over the next few days which will create even more of a backlog for me.
