BONELLI´S & GOLDEN EAGLE in Castille
Nov 2011 and Jan , Feb 2012/two people // Cost per persone € 1050 .-
Due to the popularity of our photographic tours we have been working hard towards giving you the opportunity to visit us – from as early as next year – to work with four of the most beautiful Iberian eagles, Bonelli's, Golden, Short-toed and Booted.
We have already done half of the work and are pleased to be able to offer you the excitement of working with two of them. For two years now we have been working with Bonelli's and Golden Eagles, studying two territories where both adults develop their daily routines. We know most of their habitats - where they hunt, breed, roost, perch etc., so using this knowledge we have identified two areas where the birds are confident to hunt and feed. This is where we will set up our hides for those of you who would like to enjoy the experience of photographing these magnificent creatures. We are confident that over two days with each species you will have succeeded in capturing some great shots. As we need to leave one day without feeding the eagles we will visit a feeding station for voltures.
