Four weeks in wild Spain…

In mid-December 2019, I took a flight from Bristol (where I am studying my WildlifeFilm M.A.) to Madrid... I was missing home!
Barely two hours after the plane landed, I was already hiking up the Central Mountains, binoculars in hand - and I saw the first azure-winged magpies in three months. Oh god, how impossibly beautiful they seemed!

I had taken a SonyFS5 and Canon's 100-400mm to start filming my film on magpies (common magpies, not azure-winged... although they may do the odd cameo!). But as you can see, I got fairly sidetracked and ended up shooting +20 hours of footage over my 4-week stay - more than half were magpies, of course... but here is a 4-minute summary of the rest!
