Flying Over Rocks

Gallery: WildlifePosted January 26, 2016195 views6 comments

A female Iberian Ibex takes a leap from one tiny rock to another. It is truly remarkable how these animals fly over rocks with sharp jagged edges as if it were flat terrain. Captured in the Torcal de Antequera Nature Reserve in Malaga, Spain.

Mario: a great action shot. The sky looks overly saturated on my screen. Fine otherwise. Richard
