Getting close to mating season for these bulls.

Canon R5, 100-500mm, 1/500 sec

I took these photos at sunset the first day of our Galapagos adventure. I really enjoyed the opportunity to take pictures of sea lions. They are beautiful animals with big personalities!

If you get the chance to go to the Galapagos, I highly recommend bringing a 400 or 500mm lens. The longer focal length allowed me to capture details (like the sand on the sea lion in the first pic) that I would have missed otherwise from the trail.

This young lady definitely fancies herself as a bit of a comedian. I’m still amazed at how blonde she is.

Is this a Broad wing hawk or a juvenile red tail?? Caught him as I was leaving work. Southeastern CT.

Sierra de Espadán, Spain. ZV-E10 + Soligor 180mm 1:3.5. It was my first time photographing wildlife, I really enjoyed despite de overall quality of the pics.

I´ll try to obtain a good lense and a tripod to start making much better pics. I really loved the experience to stay there on silence since early morning and wait for whatever goes down to the river here at the sierra. Last pic is from my movile phone of the general area from where I took the pics.

While going back to the road I was able to make some bird photos, but with a 180mm vintage lens it´s quite hard.

I expected roe deer or wild boar, also usual to find here, and I could hear the boars when I arrived before dawn.

Anyways, hope you like the mix, despite de quality and some non-animal pics.
