On Spanish Wings. #MySundayPhoto

This week’s photos are on Spanish wings. As you may have noticed by now, I love a good nature photography shoot and, in particular, birds! I love the fact that they don’t pose for you – generally speaking! – and that you tend to get so much movement in what you capture. These are just a few that I took when we were in Alicante last week.

  1. These are absolutely stunning, Vicky. I especially like the first one and the first duck one, but that said they are all so good it was hard to choose. A lovely addition to #AnimalTales

  2. Gorgeous shots!! I especially love the ducklings, the light is just perfect.

    Thank you for linking up to #MyCapturedMoment Xx

  3. Oh wow beautiful pictures, I especially love the light in the duck shots, it’s just how I remember Alicante. You do have a gift for photographing wildlife. I hope you had a great time in beautiful Alicante xx

  4. Wow Victoria, these are stunning! I’d love to capture more nature photography but my kids either scare the poor creatures away or I’m just too slow with my camera. #MySundayPhoto

  5. Looks like many of them posed for you, but the first shot of flight is awesome.

  6. Oh wow, fabulous shots. I LOVE the background of the first one, simply stunning. #MySundayPhoto

  7. Oh wow Victoria, these are stunning 🙂 Love how you managed to capture such great bird pictures, mine always turn out blurred ..

  8. Hi Victoria, I much prefer photographing nature than people. You’ve done yourself proud with these bird shots, all of them are brilliant. My favourite though is of the swan and duck under the tree, it’s a very atmospheric photo.

    1. Thank you so much Debbie. I do like photographing people too – but prefer unstaged, candid pictures. xx

  9. Mid-flight shots of birds are so difficult. Was trying it myself this week and just couldn’t get it to work at all! Great shots. Love your photogrpahy Victoria. #MySundayPhoto

    1. Thank you so much John – I really do appreciate your words of support. They aren’t easy but I guess it just takes patience, timing and lots of luck!

  10. Great mature shots like Darren my fav is the first one awesome shot #mysundayphoto

    1. Thank you so much Sarah. I love the golden hour for this reason – but I haven’t been able to get any good shots of it until now 🙂

    1. It is a peacock. They had two at the hotel where we were staying. I know, his crown of feathers is fab!

  11. This is a lorient collection of nature shots, and I think they’re always so much harder as you say because you can’t ask them to recreate or just stop! Love the three ducks in a row – now they look like they were waiting to be snapped!!

  12. Beautiful photos.

    I’ve tried some nature photography but my sidekick “Little Miss OMG” scares them away before I get a chance to take the picture.

  13. Beautiful photos. The light in the duck photo is just so nice, it’s like you caught the golden hour in that one.

    1. Thank you Tas. Yep, you are right – the duck photos and the swan were taken during golden hour (something I explained to Ross at the time 🙂 )

  14. What a brilliant collection of nature photographs Victoria,
    I love birds and nature in general. Those three ducks win it for me, but all the photos are stunning.
