Q&A: Your Questions Answered
Q: Why has this time of year been chosen?
A: For the Eagles in the Snow tour, late January and early February are particularly good because this is when the combination of reliable snow, short winter days and active birds creates excellent photographic conditions.
Q: What birds will I photograph?
A: Golden eagles and goshawks are the main photographic subjects, with opportunities for other winter species including red squirrels, crested tits, bullfinches, sparrowhawks, jays and hooded crows. White-tailed eagles may also be encountered.
Q: Will I have to sit outside in the Norwegian cold all day?
A: No. The photography sessions take place from heated hides, allowing you to concentrate on photography rather than simply trying to keep warm. Different hides and locations also provide varied backgrounds and opportunities.
Q: How small is the group?
A: The maximum group size is just three guests. This gives you plenty of space in the hides and allows for individual photographic guidance throughout the sessions, without splitting the group up.
Q: Is this suitable for someone who has never photographed birds in flight?
A: Sure. The workshop is suitable for beginners through to experienced wildlife photographers. You’ll receive practical advice on autofocus, shutter speeds, exposure, composition and anticipating behaviour, with the guidance adapted to your level of experience, be the birds perched or in flight.
Eagles In The Snow
Set in Norway’s winter landscapes, this 4 night workshop puts photography first, with every session in the hide built around helping you produce stronger images, not just to observe wildlife. Where other trips leave you to figure things out alone, your professional photographic host stays with you throughout, guiding your technique, framing and creative choices as you learn to read eagle and hawk behaviour, compose with context, light and motion, handle exposure in snow and cold, and turn brief moments into sequences worth sharing.
Your days are spent in, purpose-built heated hides, so the cold never distracts from the shot, and you can choose between forest and field locations for different backgrounds and behaviour. The birds stay wild and undisturbed, which means close, natural encounters with powerful raptors behaving as they normally would, without crowding or forced action. Golden eagles are the main draw, big, majestic and dramatic against the snow, alongside fast, agile and expressive goshawks in flight and on their perches.
Crested tit, bullfinch, red squirrel, sparrowhawk, European jay and hooded crow may also visit, adding portraits and action against clean, graphic winter scenery. You will be in the hides for all the daylight hours, arriving before dawn and leaving after dusk under cover of darkness so the birds are never disturbed. Between sessions the pace is relaxed and informative, with plenty of time to get to know your small group and talk about wildlife, cold weather gear, shooting in snow and technical and artistic approaches.
Evenings bring a hearty home-cooked meal and a review of the day’s images with advice from your host. An early technical session covers settings, sequences and technique, and a post-processing demonstration shows how to refine snow images while keeping detail and mood, so your images tell a story you can share. It suits photographers who appreciate patience, light and seasonal mood, and who want creative wildlife photography beyond a typical safari tour rather than a list of species ticked off. With a maximum of 3 guests, coaching is personal and tailored to your level, whether you are a beginner or an experienced photographer.
You will leave with a curated set of natural raptor images, greater confidence in snow and cold, a clearer understanding of why certain species need hides and what it takes to run them, skills that transfer to other wildlife, and a deeper connection to seasonal landscapes.
