Bird Of Prey Photography Days

We have a beautiful location for you. The historical and simply stunning Thoresby Park, in Nottinghamshire, part of Sherwood Forest is the perfect place. Thoresby provides a wide variety of natural habitats to photograph the birds in, including ancient woodland, grassland areas, old abandoned buildings and a churchyard. We aim to respond to the weather conditions and seasons so that every workshop provides different opportunities.

A typical day features around 10 birds, with a mixture of native and non-native species (owls, hawks, falcons and eagles). We start at 10:30am and finish around 3pm. The day starts with an illustrated talk, by photographer Steve Coomes – who will be on hand throughout day, if you need some help. The short talk by Steve, focuses on camera settings and composition. You will then head out to meet the birds and start by taking static, portrait and flying shots of the birds in beautiful natural settings.

As the day progresses, after lunch, we move onto the more challenging flight shots, with a wide range of birds and flying styles, in different environments.

THINGS TO NOTE – We aim to keep group sizes to around 6-8 photographers. If you would like to have someone come with you to spectate, this is no problem – we do limit one spectator for each photographer, to keep the group as small as possible. Lunch is not included – there is a cafe on site, or bring a packed lunch. If the weather forecast is awful, we will rearrange.
