Lammergeier or Bearded Vulture with heat haze
Escape the cold, enjoy some winter sun and join us for this bird photography workshop to see and photograph a wide range of birds in the Ebro Delta of Eastern Spain, before we head off to the plains and mountains to find Vultures, Wallcreepers and other species. It is a bird photography paradise
The Ebro Delta is famous for its wide range of birds in both winter and summer – from flamingos to eagles, Ospreys to storks, and so many other species too.
In the mountains, we will photograph Vultures, Eagles, hopefully Lammergeier and Cinerous vultures, Wallcreepers, and then onto the plains, where we will find larks and possibly sandgrouse.
You are in safe hands, with two guides and quality accomodation. Along the way, we can help you with your photography and camera, getting you in the best position with the optimum settings to capture the pictures you want

We have to accept that birds adapt - pylons are tall, provide a great view and save birds precious energy: Golden Eagle on pylon in Aragon, Spain by Nick Wilcox-Brown

You may need a copy of this book? There are over 250 bird species that we could see on these trips, many of them unfamilar to UK birders. Europe's Birds is probably the finest bird guide available anywhere at this moment and gives birders the essential information and detail photographs that help to confirm ID of difficult birds - Sedge or Moustached Warbler anyone?
