Below are some of the comments kindly sent in by participants after attending the November 2005 workshop. I appreciate the feedback greatly.

"Hi John, We would like to thank you again for arranging such a great and worthwhile event. It's obvious that you had worked very hard to make the day a success, which having had time to view our images quickly, it most certainly was for us. The weather was perfect and Ben, Donna and Frederic were just so helpful.
The locations you chose had been well researched and it would have been difficult to get a poor image. Your suggestion of using a wide angle lens paid off so well with the Golden Eagle. I'm just jealous that they are John's images lol. Please keep us on your mailing list for at least the next workshop. I'm sure that a couple of our friends will be very interested too. Once again, thank you for a fantastic day - can't wait for the next one." John & Denise Doherty.

"First I'd like to say thanks for putting on a great day for all on Sunday. As it was my first workshop ever and didnt know what to expext, I was a bit dubious but I found it extremely casual and very friendly. The weather was brilliant and the birds superb and I had a wonderfull day. Also thanks to your helpers ,they were very friendly humourous and would do anything to help. I would also be grateful if you could notify me about any forthcoming workshops you will be running." Matthew Tellum

"Hi John, First can I offer a huge thanks for the days shooting on Sunday, apart from equipment gremlins I enjoyed it immensely. CHEERS! Through listening to the others and yourself, I think I've shot the best photos I've ever taken. In particular the images of the wee kestrel, for me personally, are magical". Kev White
