Wex Experience Day: CANON Birds of Prey & Falconry Photography Day

Photograph eagles, owls, hawks and falcons in flight and portrait settings with expert support from Wex & Canon. Join Wex Photo Video Nottingham & CANON for a full-day bird of prey photography experience at BB Falconry Centre, Risley. Photograph a spectacular range of eagles, owls, hawks and falcons during this exclusive bird of prey and falconry photography experience. Designed to help you build a varied portfolio of bird images, the day combines controlled portrait opportunities with action photography in more natural outdoor settings. You will have the chance to photograph birds that are not commonly seen in the UK, capturing everything from detailed close-up portraits to dramatic birds-in-flight images.
