Wildlife Photography & Spotting Stoke Newington

We will meet on the Clissold Park Cafe for a mindful guided wildlife walk and photography workshop in Stoke Newington.

Learn to spot, shoot and connect with nature in a relaxed setting.

Join wildlife guide and photographer Harry Rice (Chiltern Wildlife), alongside photographer Andy Washington, for a relaxed and engaging wildlife photography and spotting workshop in Clissold Park & Abney Park Cemetery.

This experience is designed for both photographers and wildlife lovers, combining practical learning with time out in nature.

We'll start with a short introduction covering key fieldcraft skills — how to spot wildlife, approach it responsibly, and make the most of your camera in a urban & parkland settings.

We'll then head out on a guided walk through Clissold Park practising on the birdlife & deer there. Along the way, we'll look for a variety of species there, while discussing behaviour, habitats, and how to improve your chances of getting great views and photos.

We hope to be able to spot & photograph a pair of Peregrine Falcons that are nesting in the area.

We will then head to the lovely wooded & overgrown Abney Park Cemetery. Here we can spot rarer woodland birds & practise shooting them in foliage.

After the walk, we'll regroup for a relaxed discussion.

This is a chance to chat through what we've seen, ask questions, and touch on editing and photography techniques.

Harry holds a PhD in climate change risk and is also a qualified mindfulness instructor, bringing a unique approach that blends wildlife knowledge, photography, and a deeper connection to the natural world.

Andy Washington is an experienced wildlife photographer and long-time London Wildlife Trust volunteer, with a strong knowledge of urban and woodland wildlife and fieldcraft.

Whether you're looking to improve your photography, learn more about wildlife, or simply enjoy a guided experience in nature, this workshop offers a welcoming and rewarding way to do it.
