Photographing wild owls is one of the most rewarding achievements in wildlife photography. They are master hunters, active in challenging light, and rightly protected. A truly great wild owl photograph isn't just about luck; it's a hard-earned reward built on deep fieldcraft and profound respect for the subject.

Finding and photographing wild owls, ethically, is the ultimate challenge. This 2-day, small-group workshop is designed to give you the deep fieldcraft and technical skills to plan your own rewarding encounters with British owls that are ethical and sensitive to these iconic birds. We will blend in-depth classroom learning with practical fieldwork to cover the habits and habitats of the five UK owl species (Barn, Little, Tawny, Short-eared, and Long-eared). This is a hands-on course blending practical fieldwork with essential classroom theory. There’ll also be an optional opportunity for some photography editing and guidance based at the studio.

You will learn to:

Think like an owl-watcher: Understand the specific habitats, prey, and behaviours of all 5 species.

Master the ethics: Learn the vital fieldcraft for sensitive, respectful encounters that put the bird's welfare first.

Prep your gear: Master the low-light camera settings, auto-focus modes, and silent-shooting techniques essential for success.

You will get to:

Explore real habitats: Put theory into action with me as your guide, scanning for field signs and likely roosts.

Practice your technique: Get one-on-one coaching on composition, exposure, and photography in the field.

My goal isn't just to help you get a lucky shot. It's to give you the skills and confidence to find, understand, and respectfully photograph wild owls for years to come.
