Just come back from Finland, photos coming soon, and straight into maintenance. The weather has prompted an early pond maintenance but happy to see we have a very healthy wildlife pond. Photos 3&4 show strings of snail eggs and this year we've not had an algae issue. A lovely bucket of nitrogen for the compost Thank you snails 🐌

Arrived in Kuhmo, Finland late yesterday with 4 great clients for our Bears Wolves and Wolverine trip.

Just in the bear hide now for our first night session. 40 minutes in and our first bear appeared. Just posting a couple of back of camera shots. Edits to follow

We have happy clients which means we are happy too

Hornet Mimic Hoverfly — a garden first (and maybe a UK first-of-its-kind for us!)

Today this beauty turned up in the garden here in Fife — Volucella zonaria, the Hornet Mimic Hoverfly. It's the UK's largest hoverfly, and despite the fearsome hornet-striped costume, it's completely harmless - all bluff, no sting. A brilliant piece of Batesian mimicry: no weapon, just a very convincing disguise to keep predators guessing.

What's got us properly excited is the location.

Checking against NBN Atlas records, this looks set to be the most northerly sighting of this species in the UK — we've submitted it for official verification now. If confirmed, it's a striking sign of how this once southern-England specialist is pushing steadily north as our climate shifts.

A tiny garden encounter, but a genuine data point for a much bigger story.

Moments like this are exactly why we garden the way we do - pollinator-friendly, chemical-free, and full of surprises if you take the time to look closely.

Its always fun catching up with these guys. Fortunately most of the locations we take clients to doesn’t require you being in a hide. You can just be out in the open, as long as you employ good fieldcraft practises the squirrels seem to prefer knowing whats there and just go about their normal life, as can be seen here.

A highly successful workshop yesterday. We go to the Isle of May approx. 4 times a year but this trip was probably the best ever.

There were literally 1000's of these awesome birds either flying, standing with mouthful's of sand eels or in groups looking like they were having a meeting of where to go next. A real treat.

These are awesome weeks and we've had to add the October weeks by request.
October on the west coast is an amazing month beautiful light, birds of prey very active, the red squirrels are getting fat for winter and of course the Ruts!

A bit of blurb about it

“Immerse yourself in the beauty of Scotland's west coast on this fully catered wildlife photography adventure. Limited to just three photographers, this exclusive week offers daily otter tracking, learning fieldcraft and an understanding of otter behaviour and ecology: along the beautiful lochs in all weathers.

Golden Eagle searches on mountain ridges, red squirrels in ancient woodland, and a boat expedition to photograph the iconic Scottish White-tailed Sea Eagle, honing your skills in panning and birds in flight all from a boat.

Each evening Pine Martens visit the cottage just metres from your window. Return to a wood-burning stove, home-cooked meals, and a wee dram of fine single “
