Moorland Birds of Prey Workshop

Posted on 28/10/2021by Abhishek Deepak
The golden eagle is a bird of prey living in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the most widely distributed species of eagle.

I had attended a full day workshop organized by Danny Green last month in September which specialized in photographing various birds of prey such as Golden Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Barn Owl and Eagle Owl. The workshop took place in a moorland environment which is a perfect backdrop to photograph these birds of prey. The workshop was attended by 6 to 7 other photographers all with very expensive camera gear. Here are some of my images which I captured during the workshop.

Golden Eagle surrounded by heath. These have wingspans up to 8.5 feet and speeds over 150 mph.
Peregrine falcons is the fastest bird reaching speeds of over 320km/hr.
Peregrine falcons live on all continents except Antarctica.
This is the Eagle Owl and is characterized by its large size, ear tufts and darkish orange eyes.
The Eagle Owl has a wingspan of six and a half feet.
The Barn Owl is found in every continent except Antartica.
Barn Owl photographed against the heath scrubland. This is medium-sized, pale-coloured owl with long wings and a short, squarish tail.
