Bird of Prey/Owls at Swinton Park

Over the course of the morning and afternoon, you will be introduced to a number of birds of prey, many of which are indigenous to the British Isles. You will have the opportunity to get close to the birds and photograph them in a variety of settings, including shots in the spectacular North Yorkshire countryside.

This is a workshop that is tailored specifically to photography, which means that extra attention is paid not just to ensuring good compositions, but also to provide locations where the birds can be photographed in a natural setting. Equipment on the birds is kept to a minimum and removed where possible, and every attempt is made at presenting the birds so any equipment is hidden. Group sizes are also kept small to keep things personal and so every participant gets more freedom to photograph the birds.

The workshop runs from 10am to 4pm, including a light lunch. Cost is £50 per person,

Meeting point is the car park at Swinton Park Hotel, Swinton Park, Ripon, North Yorkshire HG4 4JH. There is ample free parking at the hotel, although you will be moving around the countryside in the afternoon.
