Workshops

Our bird and wildlife photography workshops are carefully selected to provide a relaxed and wildlife rich environment that provides you with the best chance to take photographs and trial your new skills and techniques. We are a specialist operator focussed on providing workshops for beginners, enthusiasts and professionals and their photography requirements.

Our photography workshops provide you with in-depth instruction and are often set in incredible landscapes. Small group sizes assure that you will have adequate time and that your questions can be answered. We have spent many hours in the field ensuring that each location provides the best opportunity to photograph wild birds and animals.

Relaxed, informal and friendly; we are pleased to be able to cater for all levels of photographer with the same enthusiastic and positive approach. We are always focussed on your needs and making sure that you get the most from your experience on a bird or wildlife photography workshop.

Caledonian Pine, Bird and Wildlife Photography Workshop

Target Species; Crested Tit, Red Squirrel, Great Spotted Woodpecker

Possibilities; Buzzard, Roe Deer, Scottish Crossbill

We will head into the forests at Speyside and Abriachan to photograph the Crested Tit – a charming and enigmatic species that is endemic Highland Forests. Lichen forests and snowy landscapes create a wonderful setting for your photography. Wildcat and Capercaillie still roam the forests and an early start gives us our best chance.

Grouse Moors, Bird Photography Workshop

Target Species; Red Grouse, Black Grouse

Possibilities; Buzzard, Red Kite, Hooded Crow

We will visit a Black Grouse strong hold with the aim of capturing these majestic birds in action. A pre-dawn visit will be required to minimise disturbance to these very special birds. In spring Grouse are at their most active and we will try and utilise this when Red Grouse use vantage points to proclaim their territory

Snow Mountain, Bird and Wildlife Photography Workshop

Target Species; Ptarmigan, Snow Bunting

Possibilities; Mountain Hare, Red Grouse, Raven

Stunning white Ptarmigan wait for those who climb the freezing Highland mountains. Come with us as we find and photograph these incredibly confiding Grouse as they shelter in the Coires from the Highland winter. There is an outside chance that a raptor such as Golden Eagle drifts over in search of Mountain Hare.

Cairngorm and Plateaux, Bird Photography Workshop

Target Species; Ptarmigan, Dotterel

Possibilities; Mountain Hare, Red Grouse, Snow Bunting

Long days herald the arrival of spring and the fabulous Dotterel to the highest peaks and plateaus in the Scottish Highlands. Experience the thrill of climbing the peaks as we search for these Mountain specialists. Snow Bunting occasionally sing from rock promontories and we will look at some favoured areas if there is time.

Dolphin and Salmon Photography Workshop

Target Species: Bottle Nosed Dolphin, North Atlantic Salmon

Possibilities; Grey Seal, Otter, Osprey

The Moray Firth has a resident pod of Bottle Nosed Dolphins that come very close to shore. We will hope for a memorable show as the Dolphins chase fish close to the beach. Around the best time for the Cetacean show we will visit a series of falls where we can witness and photograph leaping Salmon. Not to be missed

Moray Coast, Bird Photography Workshop

Target Species; Long Tailed Duck, Scaup,

Possibilities; Velvet Scoter, Kingfisher, Otter

The Moray Firth has an unrivalled number of wintering sea duck and we will head to the best locations to photograph Long Tailed Duck, complete with all their tail plumes. In recent years Surf Scoter and King Eider have used these shelter food rich bays and with luck we may photograph an Arctic rarity.

Red Deer workshop in the Spectacular Scottish Highlands

Target species; Red Deer

Possibilities; Mountain Hare

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.
