Pine Marten Workshop

Photograph Pine Martens in Scotland – Pine Marten Workshop

Location: Keith
Duration: 1 or 2 days
Time of Year: June/July/August
Price: From £200pp one day and £375pp for 2 days.

Photograph Pine Martens in Scotland in the best location to photograph these elusive animals. Exclusive use (just our group) of a fantastic private Pine Marten photography hide for Pine Martens in daylight. It probably is the best place in the UK to get daytime Pine Marten Images. There are a male and female that visit the hide regularly and they are also often joined dependent on the time of year by kits. The hide is located on private property on the edge of a woodland. Light is usually good throughout the day and the Pine Martens can generally be seen in the open in a variety of different settings.

Lens from 300mm to 500mm, no tripod required as the hide has a bench along the front and has plated gimbal heads and bean bags in the hide.

The hide is a short walk from the parking place up a gentle flat sloping field so a pair of boots and a lightweight jacket is all that’s required.

There is always something to photograph from the hide while waiting for the Pine Martens. Sparrowhawks have appeared regularly, a Goshawk has even visited on occasions and has been photographed from this hide, there are always Red Squirrels jumping around and lots of woodland birds making it constantly busy.

There is also the possibility of Roe Deer and Red Fox, making this hide an outstanding choice to spend some time capturing images of some of Scotland’s most iconic species.

The start time is at 1pm so it makes it possible to travel up in the morning (approximately 4 hours from Glasgow) The end time is whenever the Pine Martens have visited or whenever we have enough of waiting.

There are 2 options for this hide either a one day trip or 2 consecutive days (giving a better opportunity to see the Pine Martens). The success rate of sightings in this hide is excellent but nothing is guaranteed.

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.

The price is £200pp for one day or £375 pp for the 2 days

The price includes the hide booking exclusively for our group.

The price does not include accommodation for the night before if required or the night if staying for 2 days. It also excludes all meals.
