Birds of Prey workshop in and around the stunning barns at Cressing Temple Barns. We will do a mixture of static and flying shots using the Barns and the surrounding countryside as our backdrops. First part of the workshop is the zoom how to presentation on 5th April at 7pm then it’s on to the practical session with our experienced falconers at TBC at 10am. The photographic opportunities that the birds and the barns together create is something incredibly special and not to be missed.
