Field notes

I live in Madrid and I love hiking, so whenever I can I head out to the mountains just north of the city. I don't always go to the same spot: I keep changing routes, because the range is big and full of beautiful corners.

I don't go out looking for wildlife, I go out to walk. But I often come across some animal along the way, and when I have the camera on me I stop to take its picture.

This is where I collect what I find on those routes.
