Muscling in on the Mustalids

Half of my photography time over the last month has been spent on buzzards and the other half researching a new location for our first ever Otter Weekend. I am so excited about this!

With the Buzzard shots, I have chosen slightly more unusual ones, with the sun backlighting them in most of the shots.

This was actually pure luck, as I had not thought about this shot at all when setting the hide up. The creativity was in the animal choosing its location and some lucky weather conditions.

One of many reasons I only use wild and free animals is that they are so much more creative naturally than I could ever choreograph.

Plus you get the thrill of being incredibly close to a truly wild and fairly large predator. Unbeatable!

I now have superb location for our first ever Otter Weekend Experience: on the Isle of Carna, in Loch Sunart just off the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. What a location! I had four days to investigate the potential of the area. I was within three metres of the animal numerous times and the pictures here are just stage one, sketches if you like.

The weather was pretty windy so the otters can totally disappear from view even when very close. Sometimes all you get to see is a wee nose taking a quick breath before they dip down again in search for a tasty morsel.

Visiting Carna is a fantastic opportunity to learn about otters, see them at close quarters, and have great adventures on a beautiful island. All the details about the Otter Weekend can be found here and we are taking bookings now.

Have great fun out there with the wildlife and well done to everyone who has entered our facebook monthly challenge, keep them coming!
