- Filming the elusive Iberian lynx from a photography hide in Spain
Back in July, I travelled to Spain to spend 5 days in a wildlife photography hide in order to try to see and film the elusive Iberian lynx. After being on the brink of extinction, these species had really positive growth thanks to conservation, and their numbers are on the rise once more. Being able to see these rare cats in the wild was an incredible encounter that left me keen to go back again next year!

You are awesome I've been watching you for a very long time. Your style and production is getting better and better.
Ah thank you, that’s really kind feedback! I appreciate it
I know the feeling. I waited and waited for your next YT video as long as you waited for those beautiful lynx. Beautiful work from a beautiful person. You're the best Roxy.
Ah I’m so sorry! I had it edited a month ago but then the wifi in Alaska was too bad for me to upload it, so I had to upload it today when I got home :)
@@RoxytheZoologist I forgive you. 🤣
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I hope the channel grows and more people can enjoy the videos.

What amazing footages! Congratulations!!
Thanks a lot!
Amazing work Roxy
Thank you! 😄
Incredible patience and dedication ❤
Thank you! 😊
Great images and footage. Being able to be around such a majestic animal is a one-in-a-lifetime experience. We photographed and fillmed the lynx in the most extreme heat with over 50 degrees in the hide. But I will definitely go back to Peñalajo this year.
Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing such a great videos. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add MosesPeak the amazing sound in your bucket list.
In these natural a highest mountains route you capture Snowlaperds, Ibex, Yak and many other animals you never seen. Me and himalayan sounds always welcome you 😊😊 cheers
Absolutely amazing videography.
Thank you kindly!
I was sweating just watching you sit in that hide. But, definitely worth it. Incredible shots!
Haha it was insanely hot in those hides! Definitely worth it though, already planning going back next year :)
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely amazing top notch photography. Superb (but what a trial to obtain).
Thanks so much! Haha yes it was quite the endurance test
Amazing photography. Very well done.
Thank you very much!
Keep up the fantastic work 👌
Thanks, will do!
Amazing footage and photos. Not just of your intended subject the Lynx (which are absolutely stunning btw) but also the partridges, woodpeckers etc.. Was going to ask about the lens you use as 400mm at f/2.8 must be an expensive lens to have. But noticed you have posted a photography kit video so I'll check that out instead of asking, lol.
Brilliant vlog.
Thank you so much! Yes, hope the new kit video I shared is helpful for you :)
Breathtaking....the animals look cute too.
Great video of a beautiful animal, so cute that babylynx
Thank you very much. The baby was adorable, very lucky to have seen them!
Absolutely fantastic !! 🙂
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing video so well done under those circumstances(the heat) !
Thank you very much! Yes was pretty tough but worth it
That where some really beautifull shots, congratulations!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you
This is excellent video and superb photos.
Many thanks!
Amazing video and photos! Is this shot in Sierra de Andujar?
What a great encounter. The Lynx are beautiful.
They truly are! Such stunning animals!
As a South African wildlife photographer, I know only too well the amount of patience one needs to get what you want. I was also used to +50deg in hides. I have since moved to Portugal and since there is no African wildlife, I am seriously interested in photographing the Iberian Lynx. I would be interested to know where that hide is. I have been looking at Iberian Lynx tours as another option.
Thanks for sharing! Awesome footage of beautiful animals. My dream is to take photos of lynx in the wild. I've seen it many times but haven't got any photos yet ✨️
Great I love your work ifs
Glad to hear it 😁
Beautiful filming/ photography
Many thanks!

Thank you so much 🤗
beautiful!!
Thank you!!
Wonderful 😍
Thanks 🤗
So cool. I know your sweatin but its worth it for us luv 😅. Good job 👍.
Haha yes! Thank you!
Really nice Video of the Lynx! Just found your Channel. Im Praying to God for the Maximum Protection of the Beautiful Lynx and All the Wild Creatures. The Little baby looked a bit Skinny so I'm really Praying he gets enough to eat to become a Healthy and Strong Adult!
Thank you! Yes, was such a tiny baby, but brave, so I think they will have a good chance :)
Bravo❤
Excellent production, very relaxed in front of camera. I do feel that you don’t need the click to confirm you are showing a still it just breaks up the run and detracts from the sound, also possibly try fades between stills. I’m not trying to be clever just possibly polishing good work, from a fellow videographer.
Thank you so much from Germany for this video! I am heading to Spain near Cordoba trying to do the same you did.
Good luck! 😁🤞🏻
@@RoxytheZoologist Thank you!
Wow
awesome
HI...Simply beautiful, long live nature! Greetings from Italy ciao!
Thank you so much!
Amazing cats. Such strange faces.
They’re stunning aren’t they!
Maravilloso!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻😁
Nice shot.. 😻💕🥰
Thanks so much
@@RoxytheZoologist you are most welcome Ms Roxy.. 🤗
Hey Roxy :)! awesome records
It depends on the light at any given moment! Never use the same settings consistently, I’m always changing. I do use variable NDs though, yes :)
That was amazing. Can you please share you gear details, which camera body and lens do you use for photography and to shoot videos.
I just filmed a video on exactly this last week! Will be up asap :)
@@RoxytheZoologist okay.. I'll be waiting.
Thank you 😊
Well worth the Sauna awesome footage and stills 👍
Haha it was a sauna for sure! Thank you!
it is so amazing, subs !!
Thank you so much!!
Wonderful. OMG the lynx is on my list for some time. I can feel the excitement of seeing one and that too a baby. How can i contact and get to there, if you please help me. Thank you so very much. Wonderful work.
Hi Roxy, nazing video and shots! Can you let me know where you booked this hide?
Peter
Wow Roxy, was this your private hide or a public one? Would love to visit!-)
It’s a paid for hide. I’m sure you can find ones to visit with some research online :)
Great video and captures well done, hard going in that heat but your perseverance paid off. Only thing I wondered is why were you shooting such slow shutter speeds for the moving animals, you seemed to only be at 1/250 -1/400 thought you’d be be up to 1/1000 at least to guarantee more keepers.
I’m using a tripod so those shutter speeds work totally fine, all images are crisp and can be blown up big no issues
Cracking Photo’s, worth the wait? Keep well & Stay Safe 👍🇬🇧
100% worth the waiting! That’s why I’m going to go back again next year - it was incredible 😁
wowwwww very nice...
Thank you!
What is the name of the camera that filmed this video with?
For the wildlife shots the Nikon Z9 - my full kit is in my most recent kit video on my channel :)
Круто!
Hi Roxy....nice video...i love these cats.... Which was the place in Spain? I'd like to do it ! Thanks
Thank you! I will never disclose the exact location of animals online as too many people out there that want to harm them unfortunately. I am sure you can do some research to find one to visit though :)
@@RoxytheZoologistOlivier BRENNET....Messenger?
Big Len.😮
Hola, b día. Qué lente ocupas?
I have a full video about my camera kit on my channel :)
No.1
Just great. you have me under your spell.
That’s a big lens. How do you like the Z9 with the 400 f2.8?
It’s phenomenal :) just uploaded another video talking about my kit, so if you want to watch that for my thoughts they are all on there!
I am really loving my Z8 with the 400 f4.5 and now the 180-600. Stellar lenses.@@RoxytheZoologist
So you did not have to shoot through glass? We are looking to go but would like a place without glass.
This was all shot through glass :)
So did you fly direct or fly to Schipol to get a transavia flight ??? How much was it all in , ?? And did you book room only rate at the hotel ???
I flew to Madrid. You can research rates online as prices vary :)
@@RoxytheZoologist Cheers My Dear !!
whats ur kit,lens etc
I have a full video about my camera kit on my channel :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
What is the lens shown in the thumbnail?
Full photography kit details in my most recent video
Hi Why only 1080 why not 4K video that would be great to see
Sorry about that! My latest video is in 4K and will do that from now on :)
400 ф2.8 потрясающее стекло - контровой свет держит идеально. Короче, мечта ...
você é uma graça
Thank you so much
how are you such a brilliant photographer
Haha thank you. I’ve put in a LOT of time practicing. Always have so much more to learn and grow though!
Same place that Dani went too .
I don’t think it was the same place actually, no!
Great photos and videos. Just get a decent mic :D.
I have mics, just didn’t use it for this video - was too busy dying of heat 😅
96f 🥵 Love the images wow ♥️
It was pretty intense in the heat! But worth it!
How do you make money out of it?i love this job and i am very good at it but do not know how to where sell my works…
