Tailor made wildlife day
Year round
Tell us what you'd like to see and do, and we'll arrange a packed day of wildlife for you, focussing on a whole range of species from birds to butterflies.
Going Cuckoo
Spring
An amazing opportunity to observe and film a rare and captivating bird: the Cuckoo. We'll film this species as it sings, feeds and interacts with it's environment. If we're really lucky, we might even catch it showing courtship behaviour and mating!
Wonderful Waders
Late summer
August marks the start of wader migration with the opportunity to see these birds as they stop off to refuel on their journey south for the winter. We'll use slow motion to capture these elegant and enigmatic birds and observe their individual behaviour and feeding strategies.
Kingfishing
Spring and Summer
Spend the day with these stunning birds and create your own wildlife movie of everyone's favourite: the Kingfisher. Working mostly from a portable hide, we'll capture a variety of shots of this magnificent bird. From intimate close ups, to jaw dropping slow motion as the Kingfisher dives for fish. We'll also experiment with multiple cameras and funky wide angle action shots!
Fantastic Flycatchers
Spring and Summer
Observing woodland birds in the springtime is one of the best nature experiences in the UK. We'll spend the day filming small birds with big characters: flycatchers! This experience is a great way to get to know our fantastic 3 migratory flycatchers: the Redstart, Pied Flycatcher and our Film Nature favourite - the Spotted Flycatcher.
Wader ID and Phonescoping week
Summer
Join us for a week long workshop at Spurn Point where we'll focus on wader ID and phonescoping in partnership with Yorkshire Coast Nature. This is a great opportunity to work on your wader ID skills whilst also trying out the magical world of phonescoping in a friendly, group environment.
Bohemian Waxwings
Winter
An opportunity to watch and film these stunning winter visitors from Scandinavia. On this special Film Nature experience we'll track down flocks of these scarce birds and get shots of them feeding on their favourite food - berries! These experiences won't be advertised in advance, so please contact us if you'd like to arrange a Waxwing day with us.
