Photograph Red Kites and Red Squirrels on this small group wildlife photography workshop, I will be on hand throughout the day to help you with your camera settings and leave the day with some truly memorable wildlife images.

The day will be split in to 2 sessions with the morning focusing on Red Squirrels, the objective here will be to use the available light to capture interesting portraits and behaviour. We will also be hoping to capture images of the many woodland birds that frequent the hide.

Set in secluded woodland, this specialist 1-6-person hide gives close-up and intimate views of red squirrels and a spectacular array of woodland birds (including greater spotted woodpecker, nuthatch, long tailed tits and more.)

Additional floor level hatches offer the opportunity for eye-to-eye photography – be sure to bring along a short focal length lens as well as something longer as the wildlife can come very close indeed!

The afternoon session will be focusing on the Red Kites. The objective here will be to capture eye catching images of the birds in flight as they feed at the hide.

A purpose-built hide for up to 3 photographers, the Red Kite Photography Hide brings you closer to the action (distance to the feeding area 35m) for an unforgettable encounter with nature!

This hide offers big viewing hatches, room for tripods or monopods and a photography shelf for those who prefer to shoot hand-held.

Prefer to photograph outdoors? An outdoor photography deck is included for your exclusive use for photo hide visitors.

The hide looks out onto a beautiful deciduous woodland copse, which provides the perfect backdrop to photograph kites against, even in overcast weather.

This workshop gives you the best chance to photograph Red Squirrels and Red Kites and will teach you different techniques to capture some truly inspiring images

It is an action packed day full of wildlife photography opportunities and fully guided throughout.

The price is £135pp max 4 participants.
