For photographers seeking an extraordinary wilderness encounter, our wildlife photography holiday in Extremadura, Spain offers unparalleled opportunities to capture Europe’s most captivating species in their natural habitat. Recently, over seven nights & six immersive days, photographers explored a private Spanish estate teeming with biodiversity, returning with stunning portfolios of the area’s remarkable wildlife.
The carefully selected accommodation, a beautifully restored property within the estate, provided both comfort & authenticity. Single-occupancy rooms ensured privacy & relaxation after full days of photography, while the surrounding landscapes offered endless inspiration – from golden sunrise-lit valleys to the atmospheric dusk hours when raptors returned to roost.
The region’s wildlife is nothing short of spectacular, as demonstrated by the images captured shown on this page. The skies were alive with soaring raptors, including Golden Eagles, Booted Eagles, & the imposing Black & Griffon Vultures. Red Kites & Buzzards frequently graced the frame, while smaller birds like Azure Magpies, Kingfishers, & Dartford Warblers added vibrant detail to woodland & waterside compositions. Lucky photographers even managed to frame the occasional Fox or Hare moving through the scrubland.
A particular highlight of this photography holiday is the two hydrohide sessions, which allow for intimate, eye-level perspectives of aquatic species – an exceptional chance to document behaviour rarely seen from land. Whether shooting with long lenses or experimenting with wider environmental portraits, participants will find endless creative possibilities under the guidance of experienced leaders.
This carefully curated itinerary balanced field time with relaxation, ensuring photographers make the most of golden-hour light while still enjoying the comforts of the estate. The resulting images speak for themselves: dramatic raptor portraits, delicate birdlife studies, & breathtaking landscapes that encapsulate the raw beauty of Extremadura.
