In July 2016, I first encountered mountain hares, which ignited a passion for these wonderful animals. Despite declining numbers in recent years, a visit in September led to a unforgettable interaction with a trusting hare., an experience I’ve not had for many years.
A look back at 2024. It was a challenging year for a number of reasons, but I had some wonderful wildlife encounter and trips, was involved in a film and shared the wildlife with lovely and enthusiastic clients.
My winter wildlife photography workshop season has begun where I introduce clients to wildlife of the Scottish Highlands including red squirrels, crested tits, mountain hares and red deer. It’s gone well so far and the wildlife has been fantastic.
I’m now taking bookings for my crested tit sites in the Scottish Highlands. I have two sites and in this blog talk about my new one set in scots pine and larch woodland with bags of photographic potential.
In this final instalment of my winter wildlife blogs I’ll be sharing memories of my time on the hill with mountain hares but first, the other species I’ve yet to mention – red deer and snow bunting.
