Bird Photography from a fixed hide
Raptors and vultures, and in winter also Cranes, can be seen in large numbers in Geopark Villuercas- Ibores- Jara. It is an ultimate experience to see the birds so close in their habitats and to be able to observe and photograph them. You often need patience! Our hides are situated in carefully selected areas, so that you have very quiet backgrounds on your pictures. Furthermore we try to attract "little" birds. 
What we offer:
