Flock Wildlife Tours want to take you to some of Australia's best places to see and photograph our unique and varied fauna.
We run a limited number of group tours per year as well as private tours and workshops teaching you how to become a better bird and wildlife photographer.
Henry’s incredible wildlife knowledge and Dave’s amazing photography skills mean there simply isn’t another tour that offers the same guest experience as Flock. Their symbiotic knowledge is their 'all bases covered' foundation, and an invaluable point of difference when it comes to group tours.
We are committed to small groups sizes and fantastic Guest to Guide ratios!
On most of our tours we limit numbers to 6 guests plus Dave and Henry as your guides.
We aim for a maximum of 4 guests per guide and no more than 8 people per group.
Whilst we have a love and focus on birds, there is always the opportunity to search for some or our more scaly, furry or slimy inhabitants.
Henry's ability to find small reptiles and frogs is something to behold!
Depending on the length of the tour we aim to cover as many relevant topics as we can including:
camera equipment and accessories
basic - advanced camera controls and exposure theory
composition and artistic intent
field techniques - getting close to your subject
hides & camouflage
wildlife ethics
how to see and read light
using different angles and backgrounds to create the best image
how to manage your files
post production techniques - how to get the most out of your images
birds in flight
macro techniques - reptile photography
beginners through to professionals
ALL SKILL LEVELS WELCOME!
We are big believers in learning how to use the camera you own before upgrading to the latest and greatest. We have guests on our tours with everything from an iPhone through to high end pro gear. Whatever you own, we will help you take you further along your photographic journey.
This is one of the big reasons we like to have smaller groups; so we can make sure everyone has access to us and is able to learn more. We will always try to explain the thought/technical process behind the things we do so that you can learn and make your own decisions, rather than just telling you that “you have to do it our way!”
You will usually see us holding a camera on our trips as we have had a lot of feedback from our clients to say that they learn so much from us leading by example. That doesn't mean we won't be focused on making sure you get the shot first though! We want you to learn every facet of how we create our images, and most importantly create plenty of your own!
And don’t forget that we offer personalised one-on-one workshops on all aspects of bird photography including basic/advanced camera techniques, getting close to birds, post production or even just setting up your new camera.

Our aim is also to team up with other awesome guides and photographers around the country to maximise our time at a location and to support local tourism.
