Winter Wildlife P2: Crested Tits & Woodland Wildlife

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!

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.

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.
