It took three years, but finally I enjoyed a wonderful weekend in the company of some of Perthshire’s amazing beavers at Bamff Ecotourism.

A weekend of sunshine in the company of my favourite animal, the mountain hare.
Eskrigg Nature Reserve
My first visit to Eskrigg Nature Reserve, near Lockerbie in Dumfries and Galloway – a fantastic location for red squirrels.
March (2018) Mountain Hares
Readers of this blog or followers on social media will be aware how much I love spending quality time with mountain hares.

Sparrowhawks, Red Squirrels, Tawny Owl and more.
A day spent in Alan McFadyen’s Scottish Photography sparrowhawk hide in the company of sparrowhawks, jays, red squirrels, brambling and great spotted woodpeckers.
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.
