I was super excited to see a Wildcat in the wild hunting this week. The first time I have ever knowingly seen this species in the wild. Several cats have been bred in captivity and then released around the Cairngorms and this was likely one of those. It was quite tolerant of me watching at a respectful distance.

Let us support Saving Wildcats to keep this creature in the wild in Scotland

First day back on Mull and straight into Otter sightings within two hours of getting off the ferry. I managed to get ahead of this Otter and take up a promising position behind a seaweed covered rock.

About a quarter of an hour later it came ashore and gave great views as it sniffed its way through the rocky crannies looking for food. I waited until it has gone around the headland before retreating to the van.

All photos taken with Canon R5 mark ii with RF 600 f/4 Lens. Looking forward to welcoming my guests tomorrow for an Otter workshop

I really enjoyed supporting to lead a workshop taking closeups of small bugs and critters at Moss National Nature Reserve on Sunday as part of Photography Festival. It was quite wet at the start but really enjoyed tracking things down and focusing on the small stuff.

On Saturday as part of Photography Festival I was pleased to lead a workshop about an introduction to Wildlife Photography. Thanks to all who attended, I hope you had a good time and are inspired to keep going with this wonderful past-time. Thanks also to who helped out. Attached are a few snaps from the day. I was mainly finding things and helping others.

Here are my reflections on photographing Otters on Mull. It is a wonderful island and a great place to find and photograph Otters. This includes my top 10 tips and some lovely photos too

The European Otter is one of Scotland’s most elusive wildlife stars. Photographing them is thrilling. And the Isle of Mull is one of the best places to try. I’ve spent years guiding photographers h…
