Yorkshire wildlife photography days. Located around an hour apart we have access to two stunning and colourful species, I have arranged a number of days back to back allowing photographers who are travelling to photograph both the Red Squirrels in North Yorkshire and Kingfishers just down the A1 in West Yorkshire.

Kingfishers

A private hide located between leeds and York, we have exclusive access for the day to photograph the nearby nesting Kingfishers. Our day starts with photographs of the birds on perches, a selection of natural and fresh perches to create a variety of images before we progress onto driving images.

Using remote releases on cameras outside the hide we can photograph the Kingfishers as they dive and exit the water in a burst of energy and splashes. A second camera body allows you to continue photographing the birds as they return with their catch. Lots of memory needed on what can often be an action packed day. Meet at 0800 Finishat 1630

£200 per day £80 deposit to book Limited to 3 places per day

Kingfisher Equipment Required:

  • One or ideally two camera bodies
  • Telephoto lens, ideally 400mm or greater, stunning environmental images can be created with 300mm plus
  • 70-200 or similar for diving kingfisher photographs
  • Remote release, cable or wireless
  • Tripod

Red Squirrels – Including Jumping and Reflections

Located in private woodland near Hawes in North Yorkshire, we have access to the natural woodland, along with a woodland hide with lots of natural posts and perches, a reflection pool to create stunning reflection images and the star of the day the opportunity to capture the squirrels flying through mid air as they jump from post to post.

There’ll also be the opportunity to add flash to your woodland images to create some different and unique images – flash and triggers supplied along with training. Although still wild, the squirrels are used to visitors and we can create amazing images in the open with nothing more than a 70-200 lens.

£200 per day – £100 deposit to book. Limited to four places per day

Red Squirrel Equipment Required:

  • Telephoto lens, ideally 300-400mm
  • 70-200 or similar for reflection and jumping squirrels
  • Waterproof camera cover incase or rain

    Flash and triggers supplied

Swaledale – Landscape taster after the Red Squirrels

We meet at 8AM before heading to the woodland for an action packed session. The Red Squirrels slowly disappear around 2PM, by then you’ll have probably taken several thousand images and ready for lunch. We’ll then slow things down with an optional but free landscape taster shoot in nearby Wensleydale or Swaledale, both famed for their stone barns, rolling hills and waterfalls. Most locations are near the roadside so easily accessible. We’ll finish around 6PM.
