Dear Photographer,
We're just sending round an email to advise of a new photo
event we've arranged for next November: the Winter Wildlife Weekend at
Caerlaverock Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust reserve, on the north shore
of the Solway Firth in south west Scotland. The reserve is less than an
hour's drive from Carlisle and the M6.
This is a two night residential weekend, with accommodation
in the farmhouse at the heart of the reserve, on the nights of Friday
27 and Saturday 28th November. All meals and refreshments are included
in the price of £165 per photographer. We've aimed to make this an
affordable break. The farmhouse is recently refurbished, and while
accommodation is simple and homely, it's cosy and comfortable and makes a
great base for photography. Because we're staying on the reserve we
can be out at first light, hours before the public have access.
Caerlaverock is famous for it's huge flocks of
overwintering barnacle geese, but also has a wide variety of other water
birds, including beautiful whooper swans. There are plenty of hides for
photography, including a very comfortable heated hide only yards from
the farmhouse. Roe deer and foxes are often seen on the reserve, and as a
special treat we're almost certain to be visited each night by badgers,
which feed outside the conservatory window.
It's more of a pre-Christmas
get-together for like-minded people who enjoy wildlife and photography,
than a formal teaching event, but we will have a short tutorial
during non-photographing hours, and there will be plenty of opportunity
to chat to us for advice, or to show us your pictures for critiques.
Single guests will be sharing a room (though we won't mix
genders!), allowing us not to charge a single supplement. Some rooms are
en suite, others share a bathroom: en suites will be allocated on a
first-come, first-serve basis, so book early!
There are more details on our website and as usual we're happy to answer any questions you might have before booking.
Hope you can make it!
Steve & Ann
