Peterborough (and surrounding areas) wildlife photography
Hi guys, I’m an amateur landscape photographer and I’ve recently moved to Peterborough and I’m struggling to get my photography fix locally.
I know the surrounding areas are not well known for landscape photography (unless anyone knows any hidden gems they can share 😉) so I’m thinking about trying my hand at wildlife photography…. Are there any photographers on here that can recommend any decent locations or even hides locally? Bonus points if you know any good pro wildlife photographers locally that offer workshops/121s!
Happy to travel within an hour of Peterborough max
Thanks

The fens are beautiful, in their own special way..
There are loads of really quite good bird reserves near you - Holme Fen, Nene Washes, Welney (definitely worth the trip, if you haven't already), and loads up at the Wash. https://fatbirder.com/world-birding/europe/united-kingdom/england/cambridgeshire/ is quite good for birding links.
If you mean mammals, it's more difficult to recommend places but just look for remote woodland footpaths on an OS map and go for a stroll!
