he little owl is in decline in the UK and last year I found my last remaining site that had always been reliable for little owls empty. This year I decided to head back early in the season hoping that the owls where back. I was hoping that this site if active will provide me with a good location to photograph the owls as we move through the spring and early summer. Find out how I got on in this video.
How to Plan for the Perfect Wildlife Photo!
When you want to take your wildlife photography to the next level you soon find that a hit and hope approach very rarely works. Sue there are occasions when you are just in the right place at the right time but this is rare.

In this video I am again up in Aberdeenshire for a short four day visit and instead of employing a lets just head out and see what happens I chose to scout out a location for a later visit. Strangely I don't get what I expected but potentially the chance of something much better.

Landscape Photography Finding your own Images
In this video I headed out to a popular location in Aberdeenshire, the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve with the intention of photographing many of the well photographed locations located here. To be honest the weather conditions and heavy rain and snow over the previous weeks did not give me any encouragement for producing any stunning images. As it turned out the images from these locations where just OK. However we didn't really care as after making a wrong turn and taking a secluded path we came upon some real magic, hardly ever photographed. The moral of the story get off that well worn track, explore and adventure and you may find that hidden gem just around the next corner!
I'm Having a Shocker - Where Has All the Wildlife Gone?
I can't believe how hard the last five weeks have been for me with regard to wildlife photography. Over the Christmas and new Year period I have tried numerous occasions to get some good wildlife images but it just seemed that the harder I tried and the more planning I did the worse it got. This video was my final attempt to get some content and I have to say nature kept me waiting right until the end. In the end she came through and I was just so glad i kept at it. As always like and share the video! Thanks for your support in 2022.
