WILD EXTREMADURA 2013

Together with my good friend Johannes Rydström I went down to Extremadura in Spain one week in november. Our aim was to photograph the Spanish Imperial Eagle, Vultures and some beautiful Spanish landscape. With help from Helios Dalmau and Josè Gordillo (www.photo-raptors.com) we managed to get some pictures of both eagles and vultures in the Sierra de San Pedro region. We also visited Monfrague for great views and the plains south of Caceres for Great Bustards.

An inspiring gallery with excellent shots. Both raptors and landviews alike. Going to be in Extremadura myself this spring, this gallery is a real incentive.
