Context as usual is "all"...............but if the workshop was a purely photographic one it would not be as crowded as the above and usage of tripod or monopod as appropriate would be aok!@carmot Monopod. You need to take a monopod.
@newbie1 and @johnf3f The OP did say "to photograph birds of prey workshop"
This would imply some kind of a event where visitors would attend a workshop to watch and learn about birds of prey. You know, like a blacksmith workshop, first aid workshop, photography workshop, sewing workshop, a lot of different workshops where the experienced would talk about the subject to visitors.
A birds of prey workshop could look like this photo I found off Google, can you image trying to place your tripod in the middle of the crowd of people like that? A monopod would be mobile enough to move around without getting in their way, and supportive enough to help offer extra means to steady a camera.

Thanks for your time and answer the workshop is just for 20 photographersContext as usual is "all"...............but if the workshop was a purely photographic one it would not be as crowded as the above and usage of tripod or monopod as appropriate would be aok!
Hopefully @carmot will return to the thread and update some details of the workshop that will then 'inform' his decision.
