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 blog I’m going to cover the wildlife enjoyed by my winter wildlife clients and myself in a fantastic pinewood. Within this wood I have set up a couple of nut feeders and enjoy visits from many species: crested tits, long-tailed tits, coal tits, great tits, blue tits, chaffinches, robins, dunnock, treecreepers, goldcrest, wrens, bank voles, pygmy shrew and red squirrels. Over the winter months there is so much going on, it’s brilliant!

Autumn in the Scottish Highlands has been a season of fantastic colours and challenging wildlife photography. However both myself and my clients have enjoyed some wonderful encounters with some of the incredible wildlife we have in the Highlands.
It’s been a windy start to 2022 but I’ve made the most of it and was delighted to find a pair of crested tits to photograph.
Another stormy month in the Scottish Highlands, but I made the most of it with trips to the mountain hares and some lovely red squirrels in the snow.

The weather may have been challenging in the Scottish Highlands in January, but I made the most of it with regular visits to the wonderful mountain hares in snow, rain, wind and sunshine!

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.
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.
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.
