Bird of Prey Photography Experience Day
Bird of prey photography experience days are led by Julian Lucchesi, a self-taught photographer who values how photography supports wellbeing. You will join a small group (up to 8 people) at Willows Bird of Prey & Wildlife Trail, with the chance to photograph birds such as hawks, owls, eagles, vultures, and falcons, both in flight and perched.
- Julian sets up photo opportunities and can provide tips including best camera settings for the conditions, but does not teach camera use.
- Willow's keepers share facts about each species.
- Other trail animals, like wallabies and meerkats, can be photographed.
- Open to all skill levels, in a relaxed, hands-on environment.
Meet at the Willows kiosk for welcome and itinerary and explore the whole train during your visit.
All types of cameras are welcome. Bring a digital camera with telephoto lens and memory cards if possible. Mobile phones are allowed but may limit your shots. Tripods are fine in some areas; flash is not permitted. No equipment is supplied; please look after your own gear.
Leave with memorable wildlife photos and a refreshing day in the Kent countryside, inspired by Julian's passion for nature photography.
