Whether you are an amateur or professional this experience allows you to get up close and personal to these magnificent birds of prey. This 2 and half-hour sessions involves you taking close up photographs of some of the 20 plus birds on-site as they are handled by the falconer. The birds will also be taken out to fly and you can get some amazing shots of their graceful flights and their stunning shapes and plumage of various colours. During the workshop feel free to ask any questions to Andrew about photography and Grant with the birds of birds.

The event will start with an introduction to the birds by Grant who owns Woodland Hawking, for the first 15 minutes and then Andrew will provide some ideal tips on photographing these birds. You are then free to take photos of the birds on their perches under supervision and on the falconer's fist. After the first hour, some of the birds will be taken out for you to photograph in flight. If you are feeling adventurous then you could wear the glove and let the bird lands on your hand.
