Red Squirrel Workshops
£100
Option One : 2 Hours Minimum with Red Squirrels
The visit to the location will be near to Penrith and those coming on the workshop are encouraged not to share the location. This is to protect the red squirrels not to keep the location to ourselves. Penrith Red Squirrel Group also don’t encourage giving our locations. We can almost guarantee that you will get to photograph a red squirrel. I will teach you compositions, lighting and the ability to capture them doing the funniest of things. A variety of lenses are recomended and warm clothes. If you’re able to come in something camouflaged that would be even better.

Kingfisher Workshop
£100
Option One : 2 Hours Minimum with Kingfishers
Kingfishers are very nervous birds. They need to eat 60% of their own body weight each day, therefore they are very active. Often you can miss them. Over the last 18 months I have got to learn the habits and perching points for a family of Kingfishers in Kendal. We will endeavour to go to the those locations and photograph them. A 600 lens is an absolute requirement for this workshop. Other hide equipment maybe available dependant on conditions.
