SPANISH EXTRAS

Lesser kestrel 

I had some magic moments with the lesser kestrel on the perch as the evening sun was going down and the shadow of the horizon was creeping up, first up along the perch and then : onto the falcon !

Vultures & black kites

The spring in May in Calera district in mid Spain is an amazing color experience as the overwhelming green lush hurry to bloom before everything dries out into the familiar Spanish summer palette of brown & yellow.

A warm thank you to Dario Mesonero-Romanos & Jose David Gomez

BONELLIS EAGLE / HAUKØRN


The attack is coming quickly & determined from the steep mountains in the background
D4s, 600 4,0, f/5,6, 1/2000, ISO 720

The Bonelli is a big powerful predator with wingspan up to 1,7 m and indeed a great hunter, striking from "out of nowhere" with speed & precision like a big falcon. The total population in Europe, North Africa & Middle East is estimated to approx 800 pairs. I had the incredible experience of shooting these magnificent birds in 2 different situations in Extremadura district, Central Spain in early May this year.

A warm thank you to Dario Mesonero-Romanos & Pedro with the quad !!
