| Excellent experience photographing the birds Many thanks to everyone for the excellent experience photographing the birds today and for all your organisation. I enjoyed it very much and the results were better than they first appeared, once on the computer. I would certainly like to do this again and to have other opportunities to improve my skills and learn more about settings. | |||

| I would definitely recommend hiring a good lens if you haven't got your own. It was good for me as I have not previously had the experience of photographing woodland birds. I would definitely recommend hiring a good lens if you haven't got your own. | |||

| The hides are well appointed and perfectly positioned. Excellent day, will book again. I was delighted with this session. I had no idea that I would be able to photograph so many birds in this amount of time and just wish I had received my new 500mm lens before going. The hides are well appointed and perfectly positioned. Excellent day, will book again. | |||

| Friendly and knowledgeable instructors... Beautiful woodland site specifically set up and designed for bird photography. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors, and at my visit, very manageable numbers; I had a great time and even some pictures to be pleased with. |
