Iberian Lynx, Spain
My 3rd attempt in 3 years trying to find the Iberian Lynx. Studying animal behaviours before you go and picking the right time of the year is crucial. They are more visible and vocal during the mating season in January/ February. They were on the brink of extinction in 2002 with less than 100 left in Spain and none recorded in Portugal. A story of Hope where Countries unite to reverse and prevent species, habitat loss and climate change. This is a beautiful Feline medium sized wild cat with its spotted coat and tufted ears really enthralled me to try once again to photograph and aid in the conservation effort.
