The day started with Dean baiting up the area around the pool and we were set up in the very comfortable hide complete with gimbal heads, a kettle and supplies and a portaloo! A wide variety of birds quickly arrived including bullfinches, jays, tits and many others. We were able to take shots on the pool itself but also on the surrounding farm objects creating very natural props. Dean kept in touch with us via a radio handset.
We the went on to photograph the harvest mice on a variety of stems and twigs. We were very impressed by Dean’s ethical approach in not directly handling the mice – they had their own transportation tube which they seemed to like. We did have a quick rainstorm during this session and so some of our mice ended with spiky butch haircuts!
We the went back for a final session in the hide.
We ended up with a wide variety of high quality images and were well pleased with the day. We would very much like a return visit!
The reflection pool/hide was exceedingly well set up and frequented by numerous varieties of wild birds and the odd squirrel – I can’t recommend enough and I will go back various times of the year which would give different insights and opportunities. Great facilities and support – all in all fantastic!
Both Janette and Claire as Photography Tutors were extremely helpful, in improving my Landscape Photography Skills. It was also most fortunate that the weather was kind, and the rain stayed away, for going to some great locations without getting wet. The accommodation was very good and the catering was excellent, and was never hungry. Also our work was discussed and viewed after the time spent at locations that day, to view each others shots, and comments discussed on what to improve upon if needed.
I would recommend this course to all keen Photographers, and can not thank both Janette and Claire enough for their helpful kind assistance. Although not as fit as I was for a 70 year old, it was not too tasking with my dodgy Knees getting around at the various locations. To sum up both Janette, and Claire are excellent Tutors and Photographers and would look forward to joining them again next year 2016 for one of their workshops.
