This short photo holiday is based in a photography centre surrounded by professionally placed photo blinds. We’ll make use of up to 17 different blinds situated in diverse habitats, including wetlands, forests, steppe environments, and tree canopies. Unlike many photo tours, here you’ll be able to work with your subject over time, capturing shots in different situations, making it incredibly productive. This setup is ideal for honing your skills, experimenting with settings and gear, and developing your compositional style. Most birds will be within 2 - 10 meters from the blinds and hides.

The blinds are just a short drive from our lodge, with a typical day involving a morning session with optimal lighting, followed by an afternoon session. During the middle of the day, you can rest, edit photos, or photograph birds, dragonflies, or terrapins in the lodge gardens. We may also take a small motorboat to photograph herons in oxbow lakes or a European Beaver family. Alternatively, go on a safari-style drive to capture Red Fox, Roe Deer, and Brown Hare. Towards the end of the tour, we’ll spend time birding and photographing in the northern part of the park, where we’ll visit vast fish farms, steppes, and marshes, encountering many more species.

Highlights

  • Exceptional photographic opportunities for up to 50 European species.
  • Large diversity of photographic platforms and blinds, including towers, floating wetland blinds, subterranean hides and small boats.

Tour Pace & Walking

Comfortable. Almost all activities are optional. • Our Bird Photo Tours are a hybrid between our Classic birding tours and dedicated photographic tours. You don’t have to be a professional photographer or have the biggest lens; this is for everyone with an interest in photography and birding. Whether you’re using a bridge camera or the latest body and prime lens, our aims are the same. • These tours are not aimed at seeing the most species possible on the route, rather taking time to photograph key targets and any other interesting species we may find. Naturally, the overall species list will be lower than a comparable birding focused tour. • Whilst we may use blinds, feeders and hide setups on some of these tours, we will not be spending an entire day nor even several hours fixed in one spot. • These tours are suitable for photographers who prefer opportunistic photography over entire days in a hide. • Our leaders will assist in helping everyone secure good photographic opportunities and advise as much as they can on camera setup. However, they are not professional photographic tour leaders.

Accommodation

Comfortable with en suite facilities.

Ease of Birding

Birding is undemanding. Primary focus is photography.

Photographic Opportunities

Excellent. Professionally built, well located hides & blinds.
