Hello friends,
These are strange times we're living in, aren't they? With the restrictions and lockdowns resulting from the global epidemic, Fotogario has had to restrict photography trips. I'm bringing you one of the last ones we took, in September 2020. A short excursion to the Ebro Delta to discover one of the richest wetlands on the European continent. Want to learn more?
Yes, I know. I've mentioned many times that to photograph wildlife we have to walk through a lot of forest and mountains. Walk, walk and walk. There's no other option if we want to get good photos or videos. But like everything in life, in wildlife photography there are also shortcuts and... tricks. On this occasion I want to talk to you about one of these tricks, which can help us locate wildlife and sometimes, get some really interesting photos. It is about camera trappingDon't know what it is? Well, keep reading.
It's said that newborns come from Paris. They are carried peacefully in a cloth basket, hanging from a stork's beak. But is it true that these slender birds can carry such a weight for so many kilometers? And if so, where in Paris is the warehouse where the babies are collected? Let's resolve these and other doubts about an animal we're used to seeing on our rooftops and in our bell towers, but about which we don't know as much as it seems: the stork. white stork.
The year ends and once again it's time to do balance of what was achieved (photographically speaking) and write a list of good intentions for the following year. Looking back, Fotogario She's accomplished a lot in 2019, although she hasn't managed to photograph everything she set out to do at the beginning of the year. Want to reminisce with me? Here's our photographic recap of 2019.
"Everyone in the region knew him, him and his brother. Ever since he was born two years ago, it was impossible not to notice him whenever he came onto the scene. White as snow, that brown bear was only brown in name."
I was eager to observe this unknown bird in the wild. I had never seen it before, neither in flight nor perched. I knew the chances were minimal; there aren't many pairs on the Peninsula, and I only had two and a half days to find it and, hopefully, photograph it. Recording a few seconds of video was already an almost unattainable dream. But against all odds, I managed it. And you? Have you ever seen the beautiful osprey in freedom?
We rarely consider the vast distances some animals travel around our planet. Turtles, whales, reindeer, butterflies, salmon... Schools of fish, herds of mammals, and flocks of birds change places once or twice a year. This time Fotogario has spent several days documenting the crane migration From the south of the Iberian Peninsula to breeding areas in central and northern Europe. Want to learn a little more about these slender birds?
Tired of the typical end-of-year articles congratulating the holidays and taking stock of the year? Yes, I am too. That's why I prefer to close out 2018 by making a short, very short list of the five animals I want to photograph in 2019: My 5 challenges for 2019Want to know what those 5 animals are? Just keep reading.
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...
