Bird Photography Coaching
Panboola Wetlands
Duration - Approximately 3.5 hours
Cost $295 for One Person or $400 for 2 People
$10 goes the The Glossy Project
Maximum 2 Participants
Join me for an early start as we discover some of the birds and wildlife in the hidden corners of Panboola. As we walk and find birds to photograph, we learn interesting tidbits about the fascinating history and ecology of this special place. Read more about Panboola.
I share my bird photography techniques, from how to approach birds to camera settings and post production. We also address any specific questions or problems you may have.
On completion of our adventure, we'll enjoy tea or coffee, cold drinks and a light brunch. We'll also review your images and have a general chat while we relax. You are welcome to contact me post-tour with any further questions after you have downloaded your images.
I generally offer this program in the morning only, as the wind often picks up in the afternoons making it harder to track birds. If I think the conditions are suitable for an afternoon tour I will give you the option - or you can specifically request an afternoon booking.
Coaching sessions are weather permitting. If I cancel due to bad weather, I will attempt to reschedule to a mutually agreeable time, otherwise a full refund will be given.
Things to know
A basic level of fitness and mobility is required, as we will be walking about 2.5 to 3km in total including some sections on uneven ground. There are no hills to climb and we will be walking at a leisurely pace.
A limited mobility option is also available - feel free to contact me for more information, letting me know about any concerns or limitations, and I can adjust the itinerary to suit.
I tailor the program to your photography level: beginners to experienced are welcome. I have a brief questionnaire before commencement to better understand your requirements.
There are no toilet facilities at Panboola, please see my map below for the nearest public toilets. It's a good idea to stop off before the tour commences, and of course I can accommodate any emergencies with a detour!

Panboola Meeting Place & Start Point
We meet in the carpark at Panboola's second entrance where the Panboola office is located. (Not at the main entrance, which gets busy and has limited parking). Access is from the Princes Highway just behind the Idlewilde Motel at the bottom of Pambula's main street. Look for the Panboola sign.
There is ample parking available including disabled access parks. Note the nearest toilet facilities located about 2 blocks away.
