The Barn Owl Centre, Gloucestershire

by Val123

 

A UK Owl Conservation Charity located at Hempsted near Gloucester.

The Centre is run by Vince Jones a keen photographer and offers one of the best photography days for BOP that I have been to.
The days are flexible in that Vince will work with the photographer to get the best possible shots both in flight and stationery. The Birds always look stunning and are presented at their best. Vince will do his best to position the birds so that the equipment is hidden and in many cases the birds only have leg bands rather than the full gear. The welfare of the birds however always comes first.

The layout of the centre is such that it offers many natural settings for the birds to be photographed in as well as a number of natural perches.
I believe I have obtained some of my best BOP shots on photography days at the Barn Owl Centre and would recommend these days to any keen BOP photographer.

 

Vince offers reduced rates for groups of 8 or more photographers an ideal place for a group meet.

SPECIES AT THE CENTRE ARE: Barn Owls, Black Barn Owl, Little Owls, Tawny Owls, Long Eared Owls, European Eagle Owls, Great Horned Eagle Owl, Bookbook Owl, Snowy Owl, Falcons, Harris Hawks, Buzzards, Kestrel & Golden Eagle.

WILD SPECIES THAT INHABIT THE FARM: Barn Owls. Little Owls, Tawny Owls, Kestrels, Buzzards & Ravens. In addition the Farm supports an array of hedgerow birds, woodpeckers plus a range of mammal life & insect life.
