Millets Farm Centre, Oxfordshire
Millets Falconry Centre, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Oxfordshire, offers a unique and exhilarating experience for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike. Renowned for its diverse collection of birds of prey, the centre provides visitors with the opportunity to engage in hands-on photography days that are designed to capture the beauty and majesty of these magnificent creatures. Whether you are a budding photographer or an experienced snapper, the photography days at Millets offer expert guidance, giving participants the chance to improve their skills while surrounded by stunning avian subjects in a natural setting.
I loved my day there. It started at 10.00 and finished at 15.00 just before the final public display. Day access is included but the real prize is the access to the birds and a chance to take some lovely photos. Taking photos of birds in flight even when you know where they are is not easy but in this environment is much less frustrating and fun. This was first time trying out this type of photography but not my last.
