This week I head back up to Aberdeenshire in search of the elusive Pine Martin. This is hard work, with many hours of thought, research and hours in the field. But does it have to be this way? Yes there are shortcuts available but if you take them are you missing out as a wildlife photographer?

Watch My Little Owls Return After a Year-Long Disappearance!
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. Usually the perfect image is proceeded by hours of preperation work to ensure you give yourself the best chance of grabbing that shot.

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!
