2023 Autumn Birding And Photography Experience

Throughout the autumn months the Yorkshire Coast is a hotspot for bird migration. Our knowledge of the Yorkshire Coast will take you to the best places along this beautiful coastline ensuring your chances of obtaining some lovely images and finding some key autumn bird species.

Key Species: Grey Plover, Black-tailed Godwit, Sanderling, Purple Sandpiper, Manx Shearwater, Arctic Skua, Great Skua, Barred Warbler, Red-backed Shrike, Yellow-browed Warbler, Pallas's Warbler, Firecrest, Wryneck, Redwing, Fieldfare, Short-eared Owl, Snow Bunting and Lapland Bunting.

Our small group tours ensure you learn a great deal, from identification tips to field craft advice, as well as getting to grips with those difficult-to-find species. If you are interested in wildlife photography, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn new skills or improve your technique from our professional wildlife photographer Steve Race who has years of experience photographing wildlife along the Yorkshire Coast and beyond.

Details
This birding and photography experience is ideal for those wanting to learn more about their cameras and for gaining a good understanding of the principles and technique involved in wildlife photography and bird watching. Shutter speed, ISO settings, aperture, depth of field, angles, composition and approaching subjects are all covered. This experience is also ideal for more experienced photographers looking to find and photograph new species and learn about fieldcraft and bird behaviours.

Sometimes the weather can be challenging on the Yorkshire Coast as we  look at these elements, so we work on how to adjust the camera settings to compensate.
