Capture Stunning Eagles, Vultures & more

Join us for an exclusive bird photography workshop in Spain, where you'll capture stunning close-up images of eagles, vultures, flamingos, cranes, kingfishers, and more in the breathtaking landscapes of the Ebro Delta and the Pyrenees Mountains.

Designed for bird and wildlife photography enthusiasts, this small-group experience offers unparalleled opportunities to photograph a wide range of bird species in stunning natural light, ensuring spectacular shots every day.

Why Spain is a Bird Photography Paradise

Spain is one of Europe’s premier destinations for bird photography, thanks to its diverse habitats ranging from coastal wetlands to rugged mountains. The Ebro Delta, one of Spain’s most important birding areas, attracts hundreds of species, while the Pyrenees foothills provide prime opportunities for photographing majestic raptors and rare mountain birds.

What You’ll Photograph

Ebro Delta – A Wetland Haven for Bird Photographers

The Ebro Delta is famous for its rich birdlife, offering close-up photography of:

Flamingos in their natural habitat, displaying their vibrant pink plumage.

Ospreys & Eagles soaring above the marshes in search of prey.

Cranes & Storks wading through shallow waters, creating dramatic compositions.

Kingfishers & Other Waterbirds – perfect for high-speed action shots.

Pyrenees Mountain foothills – Raptors & High-Altitude Birds

Next, we head to the foothills of the Pyrenees, where you'll photograph powerful raptors and elusive mountain birds in breathtaking scenery:

Golden Eagles & Booted Eagles – incredible close-up shots of these majestic hunters.

Vultures in Action – including Lammergeiers (Bearded Vultures), Cinereous Vultures, and Griffon Vultures.

Wallcreepers – one of Europe’s most sought-after birds, displaying stunning crimson wings.

Peregrine Falcons, Larks & Sandgrouse – unique species found in the plains and rocky landscapes.

Photography Training & Post-Processing Support

Throughout the trip, you’ll receive hands-on camera and composition guidance, ensuring you make the most of every wildlife encounter. In the evenings, take your images to the next level with one-on-one training in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and color management, refining your post-processing skills for gallery-quality images.

Itinerary for 2025

Books

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?
