LOCATION

Isabella plantation is a beautiful fenced area within Richmond Park. It's full of life. There are 2 small artificial lakes and there are all kinds of plants, flowers as well as birds such as Robins, Parus, ducks, parakeets and moorhens.

MEETING PLACE

We will meet at the Broomfield Hill car park which is opposite Isabella plantation at 11:00am. If you're coming in from Kingston Gate, It's just over a mile drive/walk.

EXPERIENCE LEVEL

Photographers of all levels are more than welcome. If you have any questions, I'm here to help.

EQUIPMENT

A DSLR or Mirrorless Camera
Your kit lens is adequate but a zoom or telephoto with 200mm or more reach would serve you really well. 300mm plus lenses would be ideal for shooting birds.
