Known best for it’s archaeology and connections with the two World Wars, the Orkney Islands are also a fantastic place for wildlife. Never before had I seen so many curlew, lapwing, oystercatchers, fulmar, starlings… just to name a few. I visited in July 2025 and returned in May 2026.

Tabin was my final stop in Malaysian Borneo. A resort deep in the jungle where wildlife sightings included orangutans, gibbons, hornbills and civets.
During the latter part of my stay in Kuching, Sarawak, I had my first sightings of proboscis monkeys, irrawaddy dolphins and birds of prey plus went on a night walk to see frogs.
Seeing orangutans in the wild has long been a dream, so when a friend asked if I wanted to join her agreeing was a no- brainer.
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 first foreign photography trip to Finland in April 2024 was an amazing, snowy experience with brown bears, wolves, wolverine, red squirrels and much more.

It was lovely to return to the West Coast of Scotland for a week in November 2024. Morvern has become one of my favourite places and it’s always a joy to go back especially when the weather was cold and the wildlife plentiful.
The Ardnamurchan Peninsula and Morvern in Scotland’s west Highlands has captivated my over the past six months. Despite some challenging weather, wildlife encounters including otters and red deer made a memorable impression. The area’s richness has inspired me to put together an October photography holiday with local guide Peter Guthrie, showcasing its beauty and wildlife.

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.
