Witness hundreds of terns bringing in fish for their chicks!

About the event

Interested in practising, or learning how to photograph birds in flight? Join wildlife and conservation photographer Simon Pierce for this informal and hopefully action-packed morning workshop focused on the nesting white-fronted tern colony on the Kaikoura Peninsula. Hundreds of terns should be regularly bringing in fish for their chicks, making for lots of fantastic photo opportunities.

This is a great opportunity to learn all the tips and techniques for one of the most entertaining forms of wildlife photography, with plenty of subjects to choose from.

Techniques covered

  • Birds in flight photography

What to bring

  • A camera with telephoto lens (>200mm will likely work best), if you have one

Event FAQs (For general FAQs, please visit the Frequently Asked Questions page)

I can give you a try with some of my gear – let me know in advance if you'd like to borrow equipment for this session.
We'll be meeting in the carpark, so there should be plenty of space.
Of course! Email Simon at simonjpierce@gmail.com.
