Wildlife Workshop

Join us for an immersive early-morning wildlife photography workshop set in the beautiful Suffolk landscape, beginning at the tranquil Hollesley Common and continuing on to the rich habitats of Hollesley Marshes.

We meet promptly at 07:00, when the light is soft and wildlife activity is at its peak. The first two hours will be spent exploring Hollesley Common, where you’ll have the opportunity to photograph a variety of species in open heathland and woodland-edge environments. Guidance will be provided throughout, helping you refine your fieldcraft, composition, and camera settings in real-world conditions.

After this initial session, we will move on to Hollesley Marshes, a haven for birdlife and coastal species. En route, we’ll take a well-earned break at the on-site café—perfect for warming up, reviewing images, and discussing techniques before heading back out for the second part of the workshop.

This is an all-weather workshop, so please come prepared for changing conditions—often the most dramatic wildlife moments happen when the weather turns!

Equipment Requirements

Participants must bring:

• A DSLR (or equivalent camera)

• A minimum 300mm lens to ensure you can capture wildlife at a respectful distance

Transport

For those who need assistance getting to the location, Shaun & John can provide lifts to Hollesley. Please request this at the time of booking so arrangements can be made.

Whether you’re looking to improve your wildlife photography skills or simply enjoy a guided morning in nature, this workshop offers a rewarding and hands-on experience in two of Suffolk’s finest natural settings.
