Julian Sykes Wildlife Holidays has completed three trips to the Sierra de Andujar from late January through to mid-February. It was very successful despite suffering colder than average temperatures (as low as -8oC!) in the day. Of the nine full days we spent on the natural park we had Lynx sightings on six of these, which was fabulous.
Not only did we get views of this iconic and rare cat we also saw lots of Mouflon, Red and Fallow Deer, an occassional River Otter, Greater mouse-eared and Schreiber's Bats, and two incredibly lucky couples saw a Wild Cat near the accommodation! We got incredible views of Spanish Imperial and Golden Eagles, Goshawk, Black Vultures, Wryneck, Firecrest, Iberian Magpies etc and even a Lesser Flamingo (all three trips) and on one day a Ruppell's Vulture at a carcass.
Thank you to Mrs M. Braddock (Firecrest, Greater Mouse-eared Bat) and Mrs C. Maughan (Iberian Lynx, Moufflon) for allowing Julian Sykes Wildlife to use their excellent images.
