Eurasian Eagle Owl Photography ~ Photo-logistics Hide ~ Spain ~ 17th-19th Oct '25

Eurasian Eagle Owl Photography

I received an email about an Eagle Owl Hide in Spain with some photos that grabbed my interest so I booked two sessions the Friday & Saturday nights of the 17th & 18th of October with Photo-logistics  and booked a flight & car deal with British Airways to Barcelona, Spain which flew out of Heathrow early on the 17th and back to London early on the 19th ..

My hotel was 15 minutes from the meet point then the guide drove me another 10 minutes to the hide, which to get to the hide involved a short walk over steep terrain and if your unsteady on your feet this is definitely not for you ..

I also got sent info on camera settings in Manual Mode and had these pre set before I even got on the flight ..

ISO: 4000

F: 8

Shutter Speed: 1/125

Mechanical Shutter

There is a small light near the owl to help with focusing. It's best to have back-button focus enabled as the camera cannot see the owl in the dark, an infrared monitor screen shows when the owl appears and also when the head turns facing correctly for a photo.

Silent mode, single-point autofocus and a Cable release trigger worked well ..

There are two gimbal heads in the hide for support so you don't need to bring your own.

There are three Godox flash guns set-up and the guide has all remote hotshoe triggers for which brand of camera you use.

Once the owl came in I changed my settings using ISO 3200, F8 & F10 and a shutter speed of either 1/250 or 1/320 ..

A magnificent bird to watch and photograph..
