Beyond the Landscape: Finding Malham Tarn's Wildlife Jewels.
Malham Tarn is stunningly unique, but its real photographic treasures are the diverse species that live there. The challenge isn't just taking the photo—it's finding the subject. How do you spot a Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary among the grasses? Or distinguish the call of a Pied Flycatcher?
This one-day, small-group workshop is the solution. It's a practical, in-the-field session where I'll share my fieldcraft secrets for this specific location. We’re moving beyond the obvious to find and photograph the special orchids, butterflies, and exciting migratory birds (highlights include Pied & Spotted Flycatchers, Northern Wheatear & Redstarts) that make this area a wildlife hotspot.
We will focus on the "how-to" of finding, identifying, and shooting:
Discussing key behaviours and specific habitats for all our target species, so you know exactly what to look (and listen) for.
You will get hands-on practice using these techniques in the field, with my personal guidance to help you spot subjects and nail your settings.
I will demonstrate my own search patterns and how I approach a subject ethically, whether it's a static orchid or a fast-moving Pied Flycatcher.
You'll get key checklists for species and settings, so you can return with confidence on your own self-initiated trips.
My goal is to give you the fieldcraft and technical confidence to capture the full story of this amazing location, from its tiniest orchids to its most exciting avian visitors—like the Osprey we saw hunting last year.
