Photo course: Migratory birds in transit

Haltestelle Bendlehn, Speicher

Follow thousands of birds on their journey to their wintering grounds and improve your skills in the supreme discipline of bird photography.

Bird migration has fascinated us for a long time. Isn't it incredible how light as a feather birds travel several thousand kilometers to their wintering grounds every year? This workshop offers the opportunity to observe this fascinating event on our doorstep. It is important for us to give the animals the space they need. On good migration days, up to ten thousand birds can be observed on their way south. In addition to the most common species such as chaffinches and siskins, more specific species such as hawfinches, tree pipits and woodlarks can also be observed flying past. At the same time, you can try your hand at the supreme discipline of bird photography - birds in flight. Wildlife photographer Levi Fitze will show you how to optimize your ornithological and photographic skills.
