Testimonials
Our trips are built on a passion for birds, photography and a great deal of hard work, to ensure the best possible experience. Our guests recognise this and we've had some lovely feedback. Here is just some that we have received:
I love taking photos of wildlife. Have done for many years but felt I needed to learn a bit more about getting a better photo. This trip really lived up to the expectations.
The tuition was delivered expertly by Nick who has an obvious passion for photography, wildlife and the environment. Within a few hours my photography had improved immensely
What I really enjoyed about the course was the small group. You got a lot more attention and help than what you would have had in a big group.
Great week of high quality photography mentoring from Nick Wilcox-Brown
