The welfare of the birds is paramount at all times, therefore group sizes will be kept to a maximum of 10 photographers per workshop.
 
The specific species of bird that will be photographed at each workshop may vary, and will be determined by conditions, the individual birds and falconer available. The birds are just like us and may have an off day now and again so we cannot guarantee a specific bird will be joining us.

 

There will also be plenty of opportunities to learn about these magnificent birds of prey throughout the workshop through their expert falconers. 

A great deal of care has been taken to ensure the birds and the environment you will be photographing in looks as natural as possible. Early booking is advisable to avoid disappointment. New dates being added very soon
