RED GROUSE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Peak District
Join me on a workshop in the moors of the Peak District to photograph Red Grouse. Their distinctive calls can be heard in most moorlands throughout the Peak District, however getting close enough to photograph them can be a tricky affair unless you understand their behaviour and utilise suitable field-craft. I’ll be able to show you some of the best areas to find Red Grouse and how to approach them whilst minimising disturbance. Heathland is their favoured environment, and August is the best time to capture photos with the stunning purple-flowering heather as a background.
