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.

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.

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.

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.

Perched in a yew tree today, in the Forest Of Dean. Fantastic finches, and a real treat to watch.

Mountain Hare - nibbling heather right in front of us, during a workshop this week. It clearly trusted us and was comfortable with us watching.

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 😎

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.

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 😊🐇

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.

Pausing for a moment, as she scampers through the woodland. Enchanting.
