Evening – Osprey. Callendar Osprey Hide
We will drive the short distance to Callendar and stop for food (if required in Callendar)
The hide gives you great views of the local osprey and diving shots are possible from the hide here. On top of this Kingfisher are regularly seen and photographed from the hide and otters are seen every day.
The meeting place for the next day is in Oban. You can either travel up in the evening and stay in Oban or can travel early the next morning. Ferry times for the next day will be given at booking time.
Day 2: White Tailed Eagles – Mull Charters Boat Trip
When we arrive on Mull we will either do a short drive around the island looking for Hen Harrier, Short eared Owl and Golden Eagle or we will go directly to the boat meeting point. After the boat trip we will do another search of the island for the other species of raptor. We will return to Oban mid evening.
The boat trip is an incredible experience. We will take a set route to search for some of the many local White Tailed Eagles. When we are in their territory, fish will be thrown in to the water and the eagles will come to the boat and then will dive and pluck the fish from the surface of the water. It is a truly amazing experience and a trip that I have done many times over the past 8 years. It never
As with all my workshops I will be on hand to give advice on settings and various different shots that can be achieved. The group will be a maximum of 4 people so there will be plenty of opportunities to work with everyone one on one if required.
