Specialist bird photo trips in Catalonia, Spain, with La Sabina

Lakeland Photographic Holidays

Lakeland Photographic Holidays (LPH) offers unique experiences for all photographers. John Gravett, Photographic Director at LPH, is one of the top photographic tutors in the country and his knowledge and detailed understanding of the Cumbrian landscape puts LPH in a class of its own. On offer is a range of workshops covering landscape photography and suiting all ages and levels of fitness. The Young People’s workshop takes place over four days in July and is ideal for the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. Other courses include Photoshop and Black & White workshops. • All workshops are residential; 6 nights full board from £775. • John is also running a range of international workshops including trips to the USA, Tuscany and Iceland.

“I’m looking to get so close to raptors and birds from the plains that I can look them in the eye and take lots of photos.” That is what La Sabina’s clients want, and what the company has been helping them to get since 2008. Join La Sabina on a bird photo trip to Catalonia, north-east Spain, and prepare to photograph lammergeiers, Bonelli’s eagles, golden eagles, little bustards, bee-eaters, rollers, vultures and more from private photography hides. A standard bird photo trip with La Sabina includes hides, permits, en-suite accommodation, meals and guiding. Tailor-made programmes are also available for you to select the species and the pace. Within easy reach of Barcelona airport. Prices for a four-night trip start at €795 (£685 approx).
