Join Pete for a photography workshop in Scotland focusing on Highlands Wildlife. Pete can guide you to seeing some of the most iconic and sort after subjects in the Scottish Highlands.

A red squirrel greets you in the Highlands

Highlands Wildlife - Crested Tit

Crested Tits

No hides are needed for this session. You have the freedom to move around the site as you please, to choose the best perches, light and location for your images.

Pete will be on hand to advise on settings, angles for shots and also to rig up the perches or encourage the crested tits to land on branches and twigs, while you concentrate on getting the shot.

Once a date is booked for a workshop, no-one else will be accepted for that day, ensuring you have exclusive access to the site and can focus on the shots you want to achieve.

NB: This is a winter workshop only.

    FAQ

    1Can I cancel or change the date of the booking?

    Provided Pete is available for the new date(s) and sufficient notice is given for the change of date, then yes.

    Any deposit or money paid for a booking cannot be refunded should the booking need to be cancelled.

    2Can I change the booked wildlife plans during the day, depending on conditions?

    Possibly, depending on the availability of the sites that Pete uses from Andy. He may also have clients booked at the red squirrel or crested tit sites, so this may limit options.

    3What happens if the wildlife doesn't show?

    Pete will use his discretion here, should you experience a day of no-shows for the wildlife. In which case, an additional day may be offered at a discounted rate.
