Course Birds of Prey & Action

Learn how to photograph stunning Birds of Prey. This workshop is split into two sessions; the theory part is via Zoom on Thursday 1st July 7-9pm and it's an interactive session, so you'll have plenty of time to ask questions! The practical part is a three hour experience at Sherwood Forest on Sunday 4th July from 5-8pm with our Falconer Simon and his Birds of Prey. You can choose from any of the Bird of Prey Walks that are advertised in the East Midlands area - we have one every month until October - please advise which date you'd like to go on when you make this booking. All of the walks are late afternoon/evening to make the most of the beautiful light at that time of day. The walks are a combination of static portraits shots and action flying shots. Professional photographer and tutor Louise will be on hand to guide you and to offer tips and advice on how to photograph the birds.
