The highlight for many of my Mull Safari guests are the two private charters hosted by Martin/Alex/Blair and Danny of Mull Charters

It’s a thrill to witness at close quarters the acrobatic skills of these truly magnificent birds.

Hi folks, sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve posted here.
Let’s rectify that!
I arrived on the stunning #OuterHebrides last night for a month long visit. Out for a recce this morning, lots of SEO’s and Harriers plus a bonus Cuckoo.

Really nice encounter with one of our local otters this morning.
Nice of him to reminds all to ‘always put your best foot forward!’.
🤦🏻🦦😂😂😂😂

Crested Tit from today’s EPIC session, one of the best and most varied I’ve had at our site.
There’s no trickery with this image, no flash, no additional lighting, just good old school photography.

Lovely to share the joy of photographing Crested tits with a couple of friends today.
We were gifted some beautiful conditions, both with the light and a generous covering of the white stuff, also thanks to the Cresties for being so obliging (as always!).

Apologies for the radio silence. It's been quite the back end to the year.
My dear Mum (94) passed away, we've moved home, had Christmas to deal with and all whilst we've all been struck by the lurgy.
I'm delighted to report we're now in recovery.
Wishing you all a very Happy and healthy New Year.

When you’re packing up the house in preparation for a move, and realise all the ‘good’ stuff has been boxed up!
Cheers everyone. 🥂🍸

Do you think this is a ‘train replacement’ service?
Look closely at the LED display

Horrendous driving conditions on Mull this evening, drifts of up to 2cm deep!!!!!
🤦🏻😱😂❄️

Morning all.
My view for the next couple of weeks. Nice to see a dusting of snow on Ben More. #Mull

It will come as no big surprise to those of you that already know me, that Jasper loves Otto and the related book.

Morning new followers.
#Otters take up a huge amount of my time, I’ve been studying and photographing them for well over a decade.
My third book is called ‘The Secret Life of the Otter’ and is a hardback coffee table book. 🦦📷📙
Here’s a wee video of a recent encounter.
Enjoy 😊

Jasper, the light of my life is nine months old today and is turning into a bookworm. By far his favourite book is ‘Skye the puffling’ he giggles through the whole book, a real joy to see. 😊

A stunning #WhitetailedEagle photographed during my #ToothAndTalon photo workshop in Sept.
Thanks to my friends at #MullCharters for skippering the boat and getting us in the perfect position.
