    The weather was great, and the 2hrs went by quick. Amanda is very knowledgeable and very fun to be around with. She explained the camera settings so it's easy for us to remember and gave us tasks to do so we can put the theory into practice. I have booked another session with Amanda for next month and really am looking forward to it.

    It was a quiet morning, I had been to St Margaret bay before in winter for a Hot chocolate but didn?t think the potential for a great shot was there. But this day the conditions were great and the tide was the lowest I had ever seen, so much that I never realised there was sand in St Margaret before! A great day and a photo to remember forever!

She was very chilled watching over her territory observing the antelope on the other side of the dry river bed. She stretched and slowly moved off on the warm sand of the river bed. She had started the pursuit of breakfast! Later that afternoon we found her in the same spot?. Asleep in the cool spot of a shady tree?. With a full belly .
