How curious! One sunny summer day you look up and suddenly see a black and white silhouette circling above your head. It doesn't look like an eagle; it's small for a vulture... Plus, those white feathers with black undersides... What kind of bird is that? You're probably looking at a... Egyptian vulture, the smallest scavenger bird in the Iberian Peninsula. But what is this bird really, and where did it come from?
"One sunny spring day, a baby flamingo named Adamina was born. She wore white plumage adorning her long pink legs.". This is how the children's story titled begins "A different flamenco", the version flamenco from "The Ugly Duckling". The truth is that the white coloration of the flamingos of the Llobregat Delta has always aroused curiosity. Why are these flamingos white if those of Corruption in Miami (the traditional ones) are pink? The explanation, as always, is quite simple...
A small but striking bird I've been tracking for three years. This is the true story of this photograph. Kingfisher It's characterized by being a very fast bird and difficult to photograph. The fact that it's no longer in its natural habitat doesn't help locate it either. But finally, after three years of studying its environment and behavior, I was finally able to photograph it. Would you like to meet it?
Hello friends,
Summer is coming to an end and we have had the opportunity to visit one of the most isolated and unknown regions of Europe: the Bieszczady National Park, in Poland. The region known by locals as "The Wolf Mountains" is a still unspoiled and little-known area within an increasingly populated continent. Want to know what we can find in these mountains? Read on.
Hello friends,
hace algunos meses le dedicamos un artículo al griffon vulture, una de las aves más grandes del continente europeo. El buitre leonado suele eclipsar al primo discreto de la familia, el black vulture, un ave carroñera que podemos encontrar solo en algunos puntos concretos de la península. ¿Por qué esta diferencia? ¿Por qué el buitre negro es tan esquivo? Tras nuestro viaje por Monfragüe había que dedicarle un monográfico al buitre negro. ¿Quieres saber más sobre este ave?
Hello friends,
The steppe birds They have always attracted the attention of wildlife enthusiasts. Why? Perhaps because of their unique behavior during the breeding season. The fact is that these birds have been with us for hundreds of years, as long as we have maintained their natural habitat: cultivated land alternating with fallow areas.

We spent 8 hours locked in a photo hide observing the behavior of several species of birds of prey and scavengers. The experience inside the hide is something unique we'll never forget. Want to know why? Well, keep reading and find out how to take spectacular photos from a privileged hiding place.
It might be difficult to describe the sensations experienced with the ultra telephoto lens Tamron 150-600mm after the first 48 hours spent with your sigma homologous target. But it isn't. Both lenses, Tamron and Sigma, are as similar as they are different. I spent 48 hours in Monfragüe National Park using this enormous yet simple zoom lens and took some spectacular photographs with it. Want to know more?
A whole month testing not just one but two ultra telephoto lenses. We were missing the second article dedicated to these very special lenses: the Tamron 150-600mm. And we've put it to the test. We haven't skimped on locations, trips, excursions... it's even accompanied us inside a very special hide. Want to know more? Then keep reading.
