Red Squirrel With snow falling, I decided to spend a few hours at the woodland hide, and it was magical. Email me if you'd like to book a day at this hide. #redsquirrel #snow #winter #wildlife #photography #workshop

Red Squirrel A couple of action shots from a day spent at the woodland hide near Inverness yesterday. Email me if you would like to spend a day with me doing #photography here. #redsquirrel #inverness #scotland #wildlife #nature #workshop

Crested Tit After the recent storm, we headed up to the woods to check the trees and the feeders were standing. Thankfully they were, and the stars were already posing. As I had my camera with me, I took a few pics. If you wish to join me for a workshop with these birds, email me.

Motherly Love A mother Eurasian otter rests on her young cub, perhaps making it feel safe, but definitely keeping it warm. #otter #workshop #mull #scotland #wildlife #nature #photography

Black Throated Diver Dreamy conditions for photography but unfortunately that also means horrific for midges. I checked for a chick and nest before approaching (neither visible) and left after 10 mins, because I was being eaten alive. #diver #birdphotography #scotland #birding #wildlife

Golden Eagle From a close encounter whilst on holiday out on the Isle Of Lewis recently. #goldeneagle #lewis #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #scotland

Pine Marten Despite spending a few hours in the hide since returning home, I've not had any more luck with this individual in the woodland. There's now a second pine marten visiting, which has been picked up on the trailcam we have up there. #pinemarten #scotland #photography #nature #wildlife

Male Ptarmigan A very confiding individual, we managed to spot and then approach, on a day out on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands. Bliss! A fantastic and fun-filled day out with my buddy @andyhowardphoto.bsky.social 😎 #ukwildlife #scotland #highlands #bird #birdphotography #ptarmigan

No more photos, please! A mountain hare cleaning, or perhaps waving, or stretching... From a fine day out in unusually mild weather, on the hills here in the Highlands. #mountainhare #scotland #ukwildlife #nature #photography

It's cold, dark and world news is bleak, but there are still giggling hares in the Cairngorms to cheer up any winter Monday ! P.s best if you have @petewalkden.bsky.social at your side 😊🐇

Red Squirrel I have plenty of dates in March available for workshops with these wonderful creatures. See my website for details of photography workshops with subjects like mountain hares, crested tits, red deer and more. #redsquirrel #highlands #scotland #winter #workshop

Brown Hare At one point, when I was watching the hares, one of them scampered into a resident's yard. I managed to get a couple of images before it raced away, back into the meadow and away. #brownhare #hare #ukwildlife #Highlands #Scotland #portrait #photography #wildlife

Crested Tit Such attitude! 😂 #crestedtit #highlands #ukwildlife #birds #birdphotography #scotland

Mountain Hare Watching me, with the usual look of disdain, as I lumbered around in the deep snow. It was freezing up there, with spin-drift and frozen rain blowing around. They're hardy creatures. #mountainhare #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #highlands #scotland #snow

Crested Tit A high-key portrait of the punk rocker of the Scottish woodlands. #crestedtit #highkey #ukwildlife #birds #birdphotography #snow

Water Rail. Whilst spending Christmas back in the Midlands, it was lovely to revisit Upton Warren nature reserve, albeit on a foggy afternoon. Still one of the best sites in the UK for seeing water rails. #waterrail #birdphotography @worcswt.bsky.social

Otter Family. Snuggled together after hunting in the loch behind. #otter #Mull #Scotland #workshop #guiding

Festive Robin. Glowing on a snowy day in the woods. #robin #festive #christmas #snow #highlands #birds

Ptarmigan From a workshop a few years ago, high in the Cairngorms. Took a while to get up there through the snow, but was worth it. This male was making his way through the powdery snow, when the wind picked some of it up. #ptarmigan #cairngorms #highlands #winter #birds #birdphotography

Otter Hug! One of the cubs gives Mum a warm hug, while they take a break from hunting in the loch behind. #otter #wildlife #cute #mull #workshop
