Mountain Hare Winter is lingering here in the Scottish Highlands, and it helps add something rather wonderful to the images of the hares from a workshop this past week. #mountainhare #hare #workshop #snow #winter
So lucky to stay with my daughter and son-in-law in #Edinburgh. @kateywarran.bsky.social We then went to the #Cairngorms for a few days and despite terrible weather & 10,000 ISO got to see #crestedtits and #Snowbuntings. Thanks so much to @petewalkden.bsky.social photography
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.
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

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
Little Owl Peeking over a stone wall at us. 😀 #littleowl #owl #norfolk #nature #wildlife #ukwildlife #photography
Hawfinch Perched in a yew tree today, in the Forest Of Dean. Fantastic finches, and a real treat to watch. #hawfinch #ukwildlife #bird #birdphotography #glosbirds #birding #nature

Mountain Hare - nibbling heather right in front of us, during a workshop this week. It clearly trusted us and was comfortable with us watching. #mountainhare #hare #scotland #workshop #highlands #ukwildlife
Common Toads A few wide angle images of toads I watched making their way through a Scottish woodland today. #toad #ukwildlife #scotland #highlands #spring
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
Goshawk A few flight shots of these awesome raptors. From the Scottish Highlands. #goshawk #ukwildlife #birding #birdphotography #highlands #scotland
Red Squirrel Defying gravity as it scampers around a woodland in the Scottish Highlands. #redsquirrel #ukwildlife #naturephotography #scotland #highlands
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
Crossbills A bonus treat for us, at the end of a crested tit workshop here in the Scottish Highlands. Great to see these a bit lower down in the trees for once. #crossbill #birding #birdphotography #ukwildlife #bird #highlands #scotland
Three Kings. A trio of majestic red deer stags approach from a misty hillside, in the Highlands Of Scotland. #reddeer #deer #stag #ukwildlife #blackandwhite #photography #scotland #workshop
