ENJOY A day photographing a large variety of stunning birds of prey at location that is NOT open to the general public. You will get the chance to photograph the birds both perched and flying in lovely natural countryside. This day is limited to eight people to ensure all those taking part have a great opportunity to take some superb photos.
You will be guided in the photography by Andrew James
Andrew James has worked on and edited various specialist magazines during a 26 year career in publishing but found the best use of his combined skills during a 15 year shift on Practical Photography. He also leads and assists in photography workshops and holidays in the UK and abroad and takes on assorted publishing and photography tasks.
About the day
The collection of birds of prey you will photograph includes Red-tailed Buzzards, Great Horned Owl, Harris hawk, Eurasian Eagle Owl, African Spotted Eagle Owl, Barn Owl, Snowy Owl, Lanner Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Tawny Eagle, Great Grey Owl, Brown Wood Owl and Burrowing Owl.
Which specific species will be photographed on the day will depend on weather conditions and the temperament of an individual bird to conditions. For this reason we have to remain flexible and in all circumstances the welfare of the birds come first.
All the birds are in superb condition and you'll be able to learn a lot about them all from our experienced falconers . You will, of course, receive lots of camera instruction and creative help from both John and Andrew during the day.
