For 2021, if you want a wildlife photography tour that has everything included, you’d do a lot worse than taking a look at the following trio of what we would call our best value wildlife photography holidays – all are in Spain, all are full-board with all meals included & wine & beer with the meals too. Two are for the summer while the middle one is for the Winter.

The first nature photography experience is the 2021 visit to the tremendous Birdlife of Central Spain, for the wildlife of the estate of El Taray, 2019 saw some fantastic species photographed including the Stone Curlew, a superb Lesser Kestrel colony & some stunning Marsh Harriers – plus a lot more besides. We’ve written about the experience before & we previously published a number of blog posts relating to the 2019 visit as well

Each day starts early with a light breakfast, then a trip to the chosen hide for the morning session, as the light turns & photography becomes less than optimal, you are collected from the hide, returned to the house in the centre of the estate, after everyone has returned a delicious lunch is served.
Later, after a couple of hours rest, each photographer is taken to one of the hides for the late-afternoon session – this session continues until last light, after pick-up & returning to the house, a fantastic evening meal is served. This is the format for each of the days on the estate, not only that, we include transport by minibus from Madrid Airport to the estate & the return at the end of the trip.
We love this nature photography tour due to the variety of hides & birds that you get to capture images of – plus the homely welcome is awesome!
The trip is scheduled for the dates of 27th June – 4th July 2021 & it is currently on offer for £2249 per participant.

Again, this is a full-board trip with all meals included & wine & beer with the meals too.
Whilst the days are shorter, each day starts early with a light breakfast, then a trip to the chosen hide for the morning session, as the light turns & photography becomes less than optimal, you are collected from the hide, returned to the house in the centre of the estate, after everyone has returned a delicious lunch is served.
Later, after a couple of hours rest, each photographer is taken to one of the hides for the mid-to-late-afternoon session – this session continues until last light, after pick-up & returning to the house, a fantastic evening meal is served.
The winter nature photography tour in our best value wildlife photography holiday selection is scheduled for the dates of 27th January – 1st February 2021 & it is currently on offer for £1599 per participant
VIEW DETAILS OF THIS PHOTOGRAPHY HOLIDAY The third photography tour that we would like to draw your attention to is the fantastic Eagles of Extremadura Photography Holiday; if along with other Spanish bird species, Eagles are your thing, specifically, Golden & Bonelli’s Eagles then this is the trip for you – this is a 7-night stay in a renovated casa right in the centre of the estate.
This renovated property is just beautiful, & the accommodation here is provided on a full-board basis – from a light breakfast through to a 3-course dinner with cooked lunch in between; the fridges are kept fully stocked with all manner of drinks, & wine is served with the meals.
Everything is taken care of for you so that experiencing & photographing the species & their environment is all you need to worry about. Again, transfers from the airport to the estate are provided.
The trip is scheduled for the dates of 6th – 13th June 2021 & we have just one place remaining available for £2499 per participant.
