This was my second 1-2-1 workshop with Tesni.  Tesni is very professional and has a wealth of knowledge on the Water voles in the locality.  She spends time ensuring you and your camera are set up and discussing options for the appearance of the Water voles putting you in the location of the prime activity.  It is a long day with some waiting for the voles to make an appearance and she was always on hand during the waiting period  ensuring your setting are right for the conditions and your ready.  As an experienced wildlife photographer is was great to be with a like-minded photographer and chat through a variety of photography subjects.  Blessed by both fine warm spring weather and several appearances by the voles along with Lapwings, Common lizards and a obliging Sparrowhawk and the sound of the first cuckoo to arrive in the location it was an absolute fantastic day and I can recommend the workshop for those who wish to photograph and observe these beautiful rare mammals.  Thank you Tesni for another great day.

Without doubt the best workshop I have attended for a long time! Making the arrangements was simple, Tesni replied very quickly to my emails (in spite of being in Africa for part of the time!). When we met at the location I was immediately impressed by Tesni’s considerable knowledge of the subject and its behaviour, the Water Vole appeared as if on schedule. I felt very privileged to spend the day with someone who so obviously has both a deep passion for and commitment to wildlife, and lots of knowledge of wildlife photography which she was very happy to share. Added to which Tesni is a delight to be with – I enjoyed some great photo opportunities with the Water Vole, learned a lot about optimising camera settings for wildlife photography, and generally had a very fine day. Tesni was very concerned to ensure that I had excellent opportunities for photography, but most importantly as far as I’m concerned, she puts the welfare of the wildlife first. Would I book on another workshop? Absolutely, yes!
