Just returned from another business trip to Spain. I had a weekend in the nearby Pyrenees and on of the places I visited was Boca del Infierno which translated to English means Mouth of Heck. Located high up in the Valle Hecho on the border between Spain and France the Boca del Infierno is a good winter site for the elusive Wallcreeper. It's a very narrow gorge with a stream far below and towering cliffs above, much more impressive in real life than my camera can portray. Although I didn't see Wallcreeper as I think I was too early in the season I did see several Lammergeier in the area as well as many other mountain species. As I was on a working trip I didn't take my big lenses with me just my Nikon D3 and 24-70 lens. This is a hand held HDR as the gorge was quite dark.
