Norfolk Wildlife Photography Tours

Norfolk Photo Safaris offer unrivalled opportunities to photograph Norfolk’s wildlife from Barn Owls and Hares to World-class nature spectacles such as the famed Knot roost on the Wash and vast seal colonies along the beautiful coast. We have our own wood with comfortable hides fitted with one way glass that allow opportunities to photograph secretive birds such as the Sparrowhawk.

Norfolk Photo Safaris started life in 2015 when wildlife photographer David Tipling was hired by a TV production company to guide a cameraman for a week filming Pink-footed Geese in North Norfolk. Following on from this David was asked by various photographers to guide them in pursuit of images of Barn Owls and Hares two specialities that feature prominently in the photo safaris we continue to offer.

David lives on the North Norfolk coast and knows the area and its wildlife intimately. Our photo safaris are designed to maximise photographic opportunity using David’s knowledge of both subject and photographic technique. David works closely with Olympus and can often offer loan kit if required.

Our ethos for a photo safari is to have fun, capture great images and explore a hidden North Norfolk well off the beaten track. We always take a break in the middle of the day to visit one of the regions award winning cafes for lunch, which is included in the price.

All photo safaris are on a one to one or one to two basis, we do not take individual bookings and put people together hence we offer discounts when two people book together.

Wildlife:

Barn Owl

North Norfolk is arguably the best place on the planet to photograph hunting Barn Owls. The myriad of meadows for hunting, barns for breeding sites and a mild climate being on the coast helps keep the Barn Owl population relatively high here and unlike most places in the World where this species is strictly nocturnal, in North Norfolk they hunt frequently during the day in late winter.

Brown Hare

Brown Hares are abundant here. In early spring counts from single fields have topped 50 animals. so there are plenty of great opportunities to photograph this often shy mammal. The peak time for hare photography is from late March through to early May.

Grey Seal

Grey Seal North Norfolk hosts Britain’s largest Grey Seal colony so providing some great opportunities to photograph this species, whether with cute pups in early winter or adults cavorting in the surf in late winter.

Pink-footed Goose

Over 100,000 Pink-footed Geese winter in North Norfolk inhabiting the grazing marshes and harvested beet fields. There are few sights more memorable than watching skeins of geese heading to roost against a beautiful sunset.

Red Knot

The Knot roost at Snettisham on Wash witnessed on spring tides in autumn is one of the World’s great wildlife spectacles. The spectacular is one of the photographic highlights of the year.

Tawny Owl

The Tawny Owl although a common bird in North Norfolk is usually hard to photograph. But this species is a star performer on our night owls shoots undertaken during our three-day safaris.

Bearded Tit

The Bearded Tit is a popular photographic subject on our photo safaris with early spring being the best time to find this species within camera range.

Sparrowhawk

Sparrowhawks visit our woodland throughout the year with opportunities to photograph individuals bathing in summer and coming in to feed in winter.

Buzzard

Buzzards are now a common sight in North Norfolk and visit daily to our woodland hide in winter where they give nice photo opportunities.

Avocet

Avocets are a widespread breeding species along the coast arriving in early March and departing in early autumn to their wintering sites.

Conservation:

The profits from income derived from the use of our hides in our woodland goes back into financing the management of the wood, developing and enhancing habitat to create new homes for wildlife. We are currently building an artificial Badger sett.
