WATER VOLE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
North Nottinghamshire
Join me on a workshop along a canal in Nottinghamshire to photograph Water Voles. Once abundant in the UK, Water voles have seen a 95% reduction in their population over the last 70 years, due to the introduction of the American Mink and habitat loss. I’ve been lucky enough to spend lots of time with these charming little creatures. We’ll meet at at one of the few remaining strongholds in the east midlands and I’ll be teaching you everything I know; from spotting tell-tale signs of Water Vole activity to how to approach them and ultimately get stunning photographs.
