DONNA NOOK Saturday: November 28th
£135.00 Academy Members and £150.00 Non Academy Members
with the option of a Sunday Morning workshop as well at a cost of £60.00
Accommodation will be your own responsibility but we have a couple of suggestions which we can give you on application.
Details of the workshop are below.
The full reserve stretches 10km along the east coast of England. There are several access points to the reserve but we will use the Stonebridge entrance for grey seal photography.
OS: 113 • GR: TF 422998 (Stonebridge entrance) • Map ref: 15
You can see seals and their pups from the dunes close to the car park but this gives you limited scope to get the really great shots.
In order to make the most of photographing grey seals at Donna Nook we need to trek out to sandbanks about one and a half kilometres away. This can take about 30 mins steady walk. It is totally flat, until you reach the slightly raised sandbanks. It will be wet (Wellington Boots are a great idea) cold or windy or all three.
We hope to be out on the sand banks around first light and low tide. The walk is well worth the effort, as you will be able to photograph a variety of grey seals. Bulls, females and pups should all be there. You also get the chance to photograph the seals playing in the surf.
If you want to do some real wildlife photography then the grey seal’s of Donna Nook is the place to be. The rewards will be great and you will get a true wildlife experience.
Donna Nook in Lincolnshire is one of the largest seal colonies in Europe. There are some wonderful opportunities to photograph, new born pups, playful adults, grey’s playing in the surf and bulls fighting over territory and females
November is the ideal time to capture the seals and Welshot will provide you with all the necessary knowledge, advice and tuition to ensure you capture some wonderful images. The whole day is spent in the field with photographic opportunities all around you.
