Golden Eagle in Sierra Espuna – Photo Logistics Hide
The Golden Eagle is one of the most impressive raptors in Europe.
Now Photo Logistics offers you one hide for taking photos on this bird in a magnificent scenery: the Sierra Espuña Natural Park.
In this protected area there are a population of Barbary Sheep under control thanks to the management of hunting licences.
Golden Eagle uses to feed on their carcasses once they are left in the field.
For months Photo Logistics people in the area has tested that food with the maximum care for avoiding lead poisoning and always under the supervision of Natural Park technicians.
In this way we can give a extra food to the Eagles and take photos avoiding living bait like doves. The results are really satisfying.

Its landscape is mainly dominated by the pine exemplary, planted in the latter part of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. We also find the typical Mediterranean forest (kermes oak, mastic tree, juniper, black hawthorn, etc.).
The savin juniper and the “nun seat” (padding-looking bush) are species able to grow under harsh environmental conditions, that predominate in the peaks, in a karst landscape.
The main peaks “Morrón de Espuna” (1.585 m.) and “Morrón Chico” (1.446 m.) offer an excellent view to the entire mountain and surroundings.
The fauna is rich and varied, it’s not hard to find squirrels, mouflons (wild sheep), wild boars or golden eagles.
Espuna provides the tourist with the opportunity to combine leisure, sport, relaxation and culture. It includes routes for walking or cycling, places to eat and stay, and the “Pozos de la Nieve” (snow wells).
This is a very popular area for Family Walks this route in the Sierra Espua, is known as the route of the dinosaurs’

Wild Boar in the Sierra Espuna – Murcia, Spain.
Whilst we were in the Sierra Espuña National Park in May we stopped by the side of the road where a couple of workmen spread some grain on the ground so that we would be able to see “close up” the wild boar.
After the first group came you will see (about halfway through the video) that two more boar come down the hill followed by the piglets once they’ve decided that it’s safe for them.
What a surprise and an awesome experience!
