Iberian Lynx in Spain 2022 – Trip Report

Cat Expeditions led our annual Iberian lynx in Spain photo tour to southern Spain. Iberian lynx are never easy, but we got to see four different individuals, with the closest sighting being just three meters away. Our final mammal and bird list wasn’t extensive but we treasured out time with red deer, and some nice songbirds. Check out the report for details and some of the photos of the trip!

My wife, Rachel, and I own and lead tours for Cat Expeditions and Whale Expeditions, bringing people eye-to-eye with wild cats and cetaceans. We care deeply about providing extraordinary experiences for our guests, prioritize small group tours for intimate interactions, insist on ethical photography and tourism, putting the welfare of the wildlife first. Conservation is the backbone of our beliefs and our business, and we give 10-20% of our tour costs to local conservation projects. We select tour locations in places that provide and support economic incentives for local communities to own and steward long-term conservation. When I am not leading tours, I work as a conservation photographer for NGOs, telling stories about wild cats and their threats.

    Thanks for report. This is timely as I am likely about to book a winter photo trip to Spain (mainly for architecture) and was going to book two days in the lynx blinds, just like you did. Since you had zero sightings in the blinds I am having second thoughts. (I have seen a wild lynx on a previous trip, but it was before dawn with only blurry photos).
