The day was excellent with a fine array of beautiful and stunning birds, and the fact that we were in such close quarters to them madecit even more special. We were looked after very well by all the team and the buffet lunch was very nice....
The day was excellent with a fine array of beautiful and stunning birds, and the fact that we were in such close quarters to them madecit even more special. We were looked after very well by all the team and the buffet lunch was very nice. The only thing I would say that the 'tuition' side of the photography was a lttle dissapointing, it was one of the main reasons for doing the day to improve my skills. Don't get me wrong I got some stunning shots, but the art of setting my camera up correctly and the more technical side was sadly missing. Overall though a brilliant day, and it didn't rain!!
