A lens anywhere from 300mm on a crop sensor camera to a 500mm on a full frame camera will work well and ensure full frame images of the Kingfishers. Tom uses either a 400mm or 500mm from the hide.
The walk to the hide is only short but suitable footwear is required if the ground is wet. Dark or muted clothing is preferable although you will be well hidden in the hide. If the weather is hot through the Summer months, then it can be warm in the hide. Likewise on a cooler October day it will be important to wearing multiple layers.
If you would like to hire a lens for this workshop I can recommend using Lenses For Hire who have a large range of zoom and prime lenses to choose from. Discount codes are available through Tom Way Photography. Please enquire for more information.
