    Hi John Hope you are well my friend and not sure of your plans yet but I am heading back to the Los Pinos on Monday (after another very successful trip) and can book you in if you like. I am also back in February between 3rd & 15th - if you're planning to go around that time would be great to...

    Hi Actually this isn't considered the best time to see Lynx, but the river's a good call if you're going. Most people sit on the wall at the top of the small hill overlooking the sierra but I've seen Lynx from several places along the river at different times of day. Sadly I will not be there...

    Got brilliant views a week ago at La Lancha on a couple of days out of 4, but didn't hear of any being seen at Encinarejos. Added a decent picture, which I took through the scope as it sat below us, and the trip report can be found here. Good luck if you go Jules

    Iberian Lynx sightings Hi Just a quick update from the Sierra de Andujar. Lynx have been seen mainly at the River Jandula (Encinarejo) site but only occasionally at La Lancha. It is still very hot here and I think the lack of water outwith the rivers and dam are making the Lynx stay close to...

    Hi Just finished 3 back to back trips to the Sierra de Andujar with three full days looking for Lynx on each. We saw Iberian Lynx every day well except for two. Some of the images that have been taken are stunning with some people getting shots where you can actually count the hairs on its...

    Spanish lynx

    Hi All Another quick update - We were watching a male yesterday for an hour and a half (mostly sleeping out in the open) and today we saw 3 animals (2 females & the usual male) including some interaction between the male and a female, distant but fascinating. It was like an East Coast twitch...

    The Iberian Lynx are being seen Hi Kent The good news is the lynx are being seen all the time and at all times of the year - in 10+ visits I have yet to fail to see one at least. January is a very good time to go to Andujar as the males are looking to mate with females and can be be quite...

    Hi Steve No, it was taken straight from my old 12x Panasonic Lumix, the reason I was lucky is because the battery has been failing. So I had just three shots before the battery (and camera) packed up. The first was just back on, the second was blurred and this was the third, I danced a jig in...

    Hi All Good time for seeing Iberian Lynx at the moment with sightings all this week in Andujar, including an astonishing experience as one animal crossed right in front of the car. Unfortunately my camera's been playing up or I would have probably got better shots than the one posted. This is...
