2 weeks ago my dad, his mate and I went to Alicante to see what we could find, having read good stuff about the reserves in the surrounding area. It didn't disappoint - 25c sun and great light every day in November! Got some excellent shots but a lot to get through so I will just post them in this thread as and when I get round to processing them. All taken with the d500, 500f4 and 1.4tc.
Drove up to Alcoi where there's a griffon vulture reintroduction project. After a near mile hike to the top of the hill we finally got to the top and got 1 close fly past in 3 hours, the rest of them soaring way way above. Wish the head was lower so it was contrasting against the sky instead of the body but you can't have everything.
Black Stork (juvenile) At El Hondo nature reserve:
*IMAGE REMOVED - NO LONGER DEEMED NECESSARY*
Marsh Harrier at El Hondo (not sure what the blue colour is on the face...looks like flash or something but obviously it can't be. Ruins the shot really but it was the best I got so thought I'd include it as it's otherwise sharp):
