Join David for an incredible ten-night wildlife photography holiday visiting some of the remarkable but little-known photography hotspots around central Florida capturing images of the birdlife of Florida.


The highlight of this wildlife photography holiday for many will be the mornings & evenings spent on Blue Cypress Lake capturing images of the ospreys for which the lake is famous. However, we also will be visiting locations from the east coast to the west coast of Florida in pursuit of species, including Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Glossy Ibis, Cattle Egrets, Wood Storks, Herons, Spoonbills, Crested Caracara, Snail Kites, Burrowing Owls & many more. We will include locations in St. Augustine, Lake Kissimmee, Blue Cypress Lake, Joe Overstreet Road in Kenansville, Stick Marsh, J.N. Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Cape Coral & many others.

We will spend four full mornings & afternoons of photography on Blue Cypress Lake, providing the ideal amount of time to fine-tune your skills, capture many images in varied settings &, hopefully, come away with superb images.

Later in the trip, we will take a couple of mornings & afternoons to photograph burrowing owls in Cape Coral; David, a member of the NaturesLens guiding team, is familiar with several locations which have, in the past, provided groups of photographers with great image opportunities & so you will revisit these locations.

The group size is limited to 4 participants, so you will have plenty of time with David to ask questions & get advice specific to your individual photographic needs.

Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance – it is a requirement when booking on any wildlife photography holiday scheduled by NaturesLens that you have adequate travel insurance, we suggest a policy from TrailFinders or Campbell Irvine.

Camera Insurance

Insuring your camera equipment before embarking on any wildlife photographic holiday is crucial. Our trips often involve venturing into remote, & sometimes unpredictable environments where accidents & unexpected incidents occur. Insuring your camera gear provides financial protection against theft, loss, or damage, ensuring your investment is safeguarded.

Wildlife photography involves capturing unique & irreplaceable moments, & without proper insurance, any unforeseen mishap could result in significant monetary losses. By insuring your equipment, you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that you’re covered in case of any unfortunate events, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring world of wildlife & capture stunning photographs without worry.

We recommend PhotoGuard for amateur photographers or Glover Howe, who we use.
