Event for Bird Photographers

[flicker]

I have just finished doing a site for a local (Northumberland) "falconry experience day" business and came across a cracking service they offer. It's a photography day for up to 12 photographers, the next one is taking place on Monday 3rd May.

Basically, you pay £39.95 and you get to spend the day photographing Owls, Eagles, Vultures, Falcons etc... The guy gets them to pose and fly towards your camera - you'd get shots you'd never be able to get otherwise. When I went to do the quote I saw one of the owls and it was the size of a dog!!!! Bloody huge!

I don't know how often they do it, but if anyone is interested, the details are on the site along with some photos at http://falconrydays.com/pg/raptor-photography-days

i would love to do it but its to far for me as well
that seems a very good price.

Looks good, and price fantastic. Just at the wrong end of the country for me.

Same here, I'd have been interested had it been closer.

As a bird lover, i could not support a organisation that keeps birds captive.

I love birds, I also eat chicken.

Sorry, not trolling

The birds they have are all rescued and rehabilitated.

How many of the birds that you love would now be extinct if it wasn't for these organisations?
