I’ve Moved to the Scottish Highlands!!
I’ve finally moved to the Scottish Highlands, and am loving it!
October Mountain Hares
The weather may have been wet and windy, but it was still a joy to spend a few days in the company of the mountain hares this October.
Cresties
Little did I know when I headed to the Scottish Highlands in early March that I’d spend quite so much time photographing crested tits.
Red Squirrels and Stunning Purple Heather
When it comes to red squirrels, achieving decent photographs without the liberal use of hazelnuts isn’t easy. I’ve tried a few times up in the Queen Elizabeth Forest near Aberfoyle, but have had limited results, so I decided to book a session in Neil McIntyre’s hide on the Rothiemurchas Estate.
