Moorland Birds of Prey 2026

I run my popular birds of prey workshops in Leicestershire and these one day workshops are geared to working on a number of birds such as Golden Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Barn Owl and Eagle Owl in a moorland environment which is a perfect backdrop for these spectacular birds. Our falconer is excellent with his birds and really understands the needs of wildlife photographers and natural looking images are what we always try to achieve. The dates in late August and during September are timed to coincide with the flowering of the heather which will add a splash of colour for these classic moorland birds.

There are limited car parking spaces at the place where we photograph the Birds of Prey so you will need to meet at Beacon Hill Country Park car park at 9.30am. You will received a detailed itinerary when you book on the workshop. As soon as everyone has arrived, we will then decide which cars to share to go to the location for the Birds of Prey workshop.

We will travel to our location in Leicestershire where we will meet Dave the Falconer and the birds to do the workshop. All photographic standards are welcome, and you can be assured of individual tuition. If you have any questions on the day then please ask as Steve and I are here to help, some people do feel uncomfortable asking questions in a group, but we are all here to learn different techniques. We will break for lunch at 13.00 hrs and you will need to bring a pack lunch and drinks as there is no cafeteria. The workshop is scheduled to finish at 17:00 hrs. We will be photographing these types of birds in a moorland environment which is a perfect backdrop for these spectacular birds. The birds could change as we have to consider whether they are moulting or healthy enough for the given day, but we have four birds to work with from this selection. Golden eagle, peregrine falcon, barn owl and eagle owl.
