SCOTTISH PHOTOGRAPHY HIDES EXCLUSIVE WORKSHOP
Join Gary this Winter for an EXCLUSIVE opportunity to photograph an amazing variety of iconic British species over the course of 3 full days and 3 evenings. He has been travelling up to the Galloway countryside for over 12 years now, running multiple workshops many times a year successfully at Scottish Photography Hides, there is no other guide with the years of experience photographing the wildlife in this area, using THE best wildlife photography hides in the UK
For these 3 full days and evenings in January we will have complete and exclusive use of all Alans fantastic hides in the beautiful Galloway countryside. Unlike my large group workshops that are all fully booked this year, I am giving 4 guests the opportunity to join me in the hides. With a lot smaller group you are guaranteed a lot more attention and assistance, Gary will be with you every minute that you are in the hides, and he will go above and beyond to make sure you get all the images and experiences that you had hoped for.
So here we go, this is what on offer to photograph….
The woodland hide….. Sparrowhawks, Red Squirrel, Jay, Buzzard, Great Spotted Woodpecker and a whole host of woodland birds
Forest Floor hide complex… superb for Red Squirrels both static and jumping, woodland birds, and then in the evening for Badger, Red Fox and Tawny Owl
Kingfisher Hide….. photograph Kingfishers perched and diving metres in front of the hide
Water Rail …. this really is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get extremely close to these very shy and secretive birds (dependent on river levels)
Pine Marten…. spend an evening in the Marten hide to photograph an animal that is very rarely seen, never mind photographed.
Tawny Owl …. return to the Woodland or Forest Floor hide in the evening to photograph these iconic Owls under lights.
Otter …. an awesome experience to photograph wild river Otters feet in front of the camera
This really is a unique opportunity, the cost of this exclusive offer is £750, for exclusive use of all these hides, plus my personal guiding and assiastance, and also Alan who owns the hides. Not included is accommodation cost….. but I do have 4 rooms reserved for my guests at the luxurious Woodlyn Guest House in Gatehouse of Fleet.
This workshop is timed for Winter to give the opportunity for unique images of iconic British wildlife in their winter environment, so suitable clothing will be required for sitting in hides throughout the day and evening… such as thermal jackets and trousers, thermal boots or wellies, thick socks etc.
