Tawny Owl Hide
Photography
About this session
The tawny owl is Britain’s commonest owl, yet possibly the most elusive and difficult to photograph, being an owl of woodland and nocturnal in its habits. However, David uses his experience with owls, for photographers, filmmakers, and most recently the blue-chip David Attenborough series, Wild Isles, for which he was both series consultant and camera operator.
He has created several separate hide set-ups, for this species. So far these hides have a 100% success rate with photographers and camera crews. And, these are David’s favourite hides.
The tawny owl hide is a supervised hide session, where you will be guided throughout. The particular pair of owls, although totally wild will land under ambient light panels, so no need for flash.
The owls visits several times in fairly quick succession just after dusk. Normally you will fire around 50 frames, however, hopefully these are great frames of an elusive, wild tawny owl, depending on the owls of course and time of year.
