🐦 Event Description
The Lazy Birders are waking up early for a special treat — you! Join us for a sunrise Bird Photo Walk at our beautiful birding patch, Heron’s Head Park. Our relaxed two-hour walk in this urban wetland hotspot will be packed with chances to snap stunning photos of shorebirds and other local residents.

We aim to build a fun, supportive community where we can share and learn birding and photography techniques together. After the walk, we’ll have an optional online session to share photos from the walk or simply enjoy beautiful bird photos.

We prefer to keep the photo walk to a small, fun group of 8 members, so sign up today!

Our camera and birding gear
Body Sony ⍺ 7II, Lens Sony FE 200-600mm, Tripod Sirui AM-225 Carbon Fiber Small, and Nocs Provisions Binoculars.

Ethical bird photography
We believe in capturing beautiful bird photos while respecting their space, keeping a gentle distance, and ensuring our presence doesn’t disturb their habitat.
