Thanks Icarus, and like most cats, completely unfazed that I was within sight.

Thanks Dave, I'll be going out into that area again this coming year (covid allowing) to get some Imperial Eagle shots---I think this company now has a Lynx hide, but apparently very early in the year, when the parents are bring food back for their kittens, is the best time to spot them.Great pictures! I spent a week in the same area looking for these cats, (with another forum member) with no luck, very envious. We spent a day in a hide photographing Vultures, when we came out, there were fresh Lynx tracks behind the hide

Just finished watching a program on Nat Geo Wild "Wild Europe" about the brown bear rehab program in Italy & Greece, most interesting. Some great work going on in Southern Europe.
Not a big fan of drones to be honest, whilst they have their uses, I'm kinda old fashioned.........I still like to be connected to that button.

Saw that Wild Europe prog recently, and its interesting to see the efforts going into rehab and re-wilding projects from European national governments, and whilst they are very commendable, I am certain a part of their thinking involves expansion of their ecotourism portfolio----perfectly acceptable as long as it protects the animals and their habitat .Just finished watching a program on Nat Geo Wild "Wild Europe" about the brown bear rehab program in Italy & Greece, most interesting.

Ref. your comment on drones --I agree, for some programmes (like Russia from above ) they are invaluable and relatively unobtrusive, but for hands on wildlife photographers they are too impersonal.

Agreed. I would like to own one because I see the potential in them, but nothing beats being up in the air yourself looking down. Haven't done the microlite thing yet, but a hot air balloon trip is awesome.

We went in late April and came to the conclusion we were a month or two late

Thanks Tadzio,, glad you liked them.
I have looked at 3 companies myself for early next year, Photo Logistics, Naturoots & Iberian Lynxland. Do you have any feedback on any of these. I used Iberian Lynxland a few years ago, through Naturetrek. Any info would be great.

Hi again Dave, I haven't used any of those , but was booked in with Skua Nature for this May past---of course this didn't happen but I have deferred it to next year. Therefore I haven't any feedback on them as yet but had very good reports from people who had used them. The Spanish site in Andalusia is called Alpasin. Regards David.
Many thanks

Thanks Gavin, glad you enjoyed the pics.
Great sighting! I also saw one in Sierra Andujar in 2010, but it was still dark out and my blurry photo is by flashlight.

Thanks, I hope to get another chance to see the Pardel Lynx at the end of May this year in Ademuz, fingers crossed.
Good luck!
