Red Deer Workshop

Caledonian Woodland in Winter - Red Deer Photography special

Winter in the Cairngorms is truly magical. Typically timid species become more tolerant as they focus on finding food in this Arctic environment. Red Deer, including powerful stags, come to a hill side feeding station to take advantage of the shelter in the Caledonian forests. Join us as we head out in to snowy landscapes by 4x4 to photograph these majestic animals. These are wild Red Deer - but be prepared to get close, very close! This is a private forest on a Highland estate so you will have time to get the shots in the peace and tranquility of a magical location.
