SUMMARY:Argaty Red Kites and Red Squirrel Workshop 29-05-27
DESCRIPTION:Argaty Red Kites – Red Kite and Red Squirrel Workshop \nLocation: Doune \nMy bestselling and most popular workshop. \nThis is a small group wildlife photography workshop\, I will be on hand throughout the day to help you with your camera settings and leave the day with some truly memorable wildlife images. \nIt is ideally for people who want to improve their wildlife photography and increase understanding of how to use their camera. \nWorkshop Contents\n• Understanding Exposure\n• Focus Modes\n• White Balance\n• Composition\n• Exposure Compensation\n• Shooting in Raw\n• Understanding Animal Behaviour\n• Capturing Action shots\n• Photographing Birds in Flight. \nThe day will be split in to 2 sessions with the morning focusing on Red Squirrels\, the objective here will be to use the available light to capture interesting portraits and behaviour. We will also be hoping to capture images of the many woodland birds that frequent the hide. \nSet in secluded woodland\, this specialist 1-6-person hide gives close-up and intimate views of red squirrels and a spectacular array of woodland birds (including greater spotted woodpecker\, nuthatch\, long tailed tits and more.) \nThe afternoon session will be focusing on the Red Kites. The objective here will be to capture eye catching images of the birds in flight as they feed at the hide. \nA purpose-built hide for up to 3 photographers\, the Red Kite Photography Hide brings you closer to the action (distance to the feeding area 35m) for an unforgettable encounter with nature! \nThe hide looks out onto a beautiful deciduous woodland copse\, which provides the perfect backdrop to photograph kites against\, even in overcast weather. \nIt is an action-packed day full of wildlife photography opportunities and fully guided throughout. \nThe price includes the hide booking exclusively for our group. \nThe price does not include accommodation.

SUMMARY:Isle of May - Puffins 31-05-27
DESCRIPTION:Isle of May – Puffins \nLocation: Anstruther \nJoin me for some puffin therapy!! \nThe Isle of May is a remarkable island which lies only 5 miles off the Fife coast and is an important National Nature Reserve owned and run by NatureScot (SNH) and is open for visitors from the beginning of April until the end of September\, this is truly a beautiful Island\, peaceful with stunning views everywhere. \nNatureScot (SNH) have rangers stationed on the Isle of May during this time to make our visit more enjoyable and informative\, they will greet you on the pier when you arrive\, give a short talk on the latest information concerning the wildlife and they will also patrol the island during your visit. Isle of May is home to an incredible array of wildlife\, up to 200\,000 seabirds can nest on the May\, which can include 100\,000 Puffins\, there are also large colonies of Guillemots\, Razorbills\, Kittiwakes and Shags (best time for Puffins is from April to end of July ) also about 300 seals live all year round on Isle of May. Porpoise and Dolphin and the odd whale can be seen\, you just have to be on the trip on the right day and be a bit lucky. \nThe duration of our time on the island depends very much on the tides. But is usually between 2 and 3 hours. During our visit we will look to capture images of the incredible and iconic puffins. We will have a set shot list that we will try to achieve in our short time on the island with the stand out shots being the puffins with sand eels and fish in their beaks. \nThe exact trip start and end timings will be given at the time of booking. The time on the island will only be known on the day of the trip. \nAs 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. \nThe price includes the boat booking and photographic guiding throughout. \nThe price does not include accommodation. It also excludes all meals.
