Lammergeier or Bearded Vulture with heat haze

Bird Photography workshop in Spain

Photographing Eagles, Osprey, Flamingos, Cranes, Kingfishers in Spain's Ebro delta and surrounding mountains

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

Travelling as a small group, we cover a wide range of locations; from the coastal delta, to inland plains and mountains.

Whether you are starting out, or an experienced bird and wildlife photographer, we guarantee you will see and photograph plenty of unusual birds.

The trip will be vehicle-based. There will be walking in the forest and on gentle terrain. Tripods are not needed.

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?
