Migfest 2025 (Preview)

Well the most prestigious wildlife festival of the year is almost upon us. Such is the draw of this event, tickets were sold out weeks ago.

For anyone attending with an interest in photography or just wanting to make the most of their visit to Spurn, I will be holding my usual photography workshops.

Both sessions are between 9am-11am but places are limited to make sure that you book at the main reception in advance.

I will be talking about settings, composition, light, fieldcraft and much more. There will be a focus on making the most of your trip to Spurn that includes the importance of tide times, weather conditions and what could be expected throughout different times of the year.

I will also be running my stand in the main marquee so will be available throughout the weekend for more detailed knowledge sharing. I also have a limited set of A4 prints for sale all proceeds going to Spurn bird Observatory.

Each year there is a ‘bird of the weekend’ and a few photos from years past are below.

See you there!
