Red Squirrel Workshop

Available: All year round

Watching and photographing red squirrels is always a delight. They're such characters, rarely sitting still for long, they can be climbing up and down, and leaping between trees, sitting on mossy mounds, logs or branches, burying their nuts or simply nibbling away at a hazelnut.

With their crimped ear tufts in the winter, or pale bushy tails during the summer, they are always photogenic.

Depending on your requirements for the session, Pete will choose a suitable location for the workshop with options for either a deciduous woodland, or a pine forest. The latter has additional features to help capture images of the squirrels as they jump or take a drink at a reflection pool.

In addition to the squirrels, there may be opportunities to photograph woodland birds such as long-tailed tits, treecreepers, jays, sparrowhawks, great-spotted woodpeckers and more.
