Otters, Eagles and Seabirds: Isle of Mull Wildlife Photography Tour
Renowned for its wildlife, the Hebridean island of Mull is the best place in the British Isles to enjoy some of our most iconic species. Here you can find magnificent white-tailed sea eagles taking fish from the water, herds of red deer in mountain glens, playful otters foraging along the shoreline and dolphins leaping at sea. The nearby island of Lunga is one of the finest seabird colonies in Britain, home to abundant puffins, guillemots, razorbills, shags and fulmars amongst many other species. Together, Mull and Lunga offer the most engaging, exciting and spectacular wildlife photography experience in the British Isles today. This exceptional eight-day tour provides exclusive accommodation, gourmet dining, two expert guides and five boat trips for eagle and sea bird photography.
Bustards, Butterflies and Barn Owls: Wiltshire Wildlife Photography Tour
Wiltshire’s exceptional cultural heritage is well-known but the county’s natural heritage equally deserves attention. You are more likely to see charismatic species such as barn owls, brown hares, adonis blue butterflies and burnt-tip orchids in Wiltshire than anywhere else in Britain. With superb downland and woodland habitat, Wiltshire is a top county for butterflies; our 45 species represent over three-quarters of the British total. Salisbury Plain is the wild heart of Wiltshire, somewhat resembling rolling savanna. Fittingly, the Plain has its very own big game; great bustards are the world’s heaviest flying birds, now roaming freely after 170 years’ absence. On this tour you will be guided by several of Wiltshire’s top wildlife photographers.
Emperors and Admirals
Purple Emperor butterflies, White Admiral butterflies and Emperor dragonflies are three of the largest and most charismatic insects in Britain. This one-day tour will take you in search of all three in Wiltshire’s finest ancient woodlands. Along the way we expect to see several other aristocratic woodland butterflies such as silver-washed fritillary and purple hairstreak.

My photography tours and workshops are for enthusiasts who would like to take their outdoors photography to the next level, to make images of spectacular landscapes, iconic wildlife and dazzling night skies with guidance in the field. All are timed to coincide with the best seasonal, lighting and tidal conditions for photography. I will guide you directly to the best locations, explain the story behind the scenery and show you optimum camera settings. The programme on each tour includes comfortable hotel accommodation, full days’ programme of field visits from early in the morning until sunset, plus an evening/indoor programme based on local images, processing the group's photography during the tour and discussion of photographic techniques such as using filters, high dynamic range and making panoramas.
Outdoor photography can be productive in a wide variety of weather conditions and our itineraries will be flexible to make the best use of conditions. I take only small groups to ensure that all participants will benefit from personal tuition and the best shooting positions. Each tour aims to develop your photography, enhance your understanding of the natural world and ensure you return home with a portfolio of great images.
