I visited Pauls red squirrel hide on 24th March this year 2022. The hide is set in a perfect location in a pine wood,Paul set us up with the jumping squrrel’s which was amazing. We then moved to the hide, where again Paul was on hand to show us the location and explain the direction the squirrel’s usually approached. His knowledge and professionalism made this a great day out , in addition to the squirrel’s there was a good selection of bird life from chaffinch’s to a great spotted woodpecker.,I would like to thank Paul for a great day.

What a fantastic day with Paul & the Red squirrels. The squirrels were pretty much active the whole time with Paul on hand offering advice if needed. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to the hides as you won't be disappointed.

I had a great day with Paul at his Red Squirrel location. Plenty of visits from several individuals at both the woodland hide and the reflection pool. The bonus of numerous woodland birds only adds to the experience.

I had a fantastic day at the woodland hide followed by the jumps, plenty of Red Squirrels on hand and the set up of the logs, poles and perches etc allowed some great shots, many birds also visited and the shots of the woodpecker and squirrel on the same perch were one of the highlights of the Day. The squirrels even showed for the jump session and I got a series of around 12-14 sequences in my session. Paul was on hand offering help and guidance throughout and his local knowledge helped me plan a few extra locations in my 2 day photography visit to the area

Had a great day at the reflection pool with half a dozen or more squirrels returning on a regular basis. There were also lots of woodland birds around as well.
After this we moved on to the 'jumps'.
It was a great day and Paul was on hand to offer advice on settings if required.
I found Paul to be friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I look forward to returning to one of Paul's hides in the near future.
Cheers,
Chris

Just done a fabulous two days with Paul in the scottish highlands. Paul has found a wonderful place with lots of red deer against stunning autumnal colours. He also showed me some beautiful places and scenery around Glen Coe and showed me how to do landscape photography. Highly recommend this trip

Just spent a fantastic weekend in the Scottish Highlands with Paul. Two action packed days spent photographing rutting stags in the morning and evening and capturing the magnificence of the Scottish Highlands during the day.
Paul worked tremendously hard to make sure we got the best opportunities all round, it was a great experience as well as great fun and we all went home with our memory cards bursting with wonderful images.
Thanks Paul ....

Having visited Paul’s Red Squirrel and Little Owl hides on many occasions it was great to be able to join one of his trips to Mull to photograph otters.
Paul is knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about getting you successful results. Of the three days in the beautiful surroundings there was not one without at least one really successful photo opportunity. Though that can never be guaranteed in wildlife photography much was down to Paul’s determination to find opportunities. We were also shown other sites with wildlife in addition to otters, an added bonus.
I’d highly recommend Paul and the variety of sites and trips he runs.

My friend and I spent 8th October with Paul for a Red Squirrel workshop. We had a fabulous day. Paul was friendly, knowledgeable, informative and, above all ,both helpful and interested in our photography on the day. He advised on settings etc, helped check results and suggested adjustments for better shots. I cannot recommend highly enough. We will certainly book other workshops with Paul

Whilst searching online for locations to photograph Red Squirrels i discovered Paul's website. It looked promising so I decided to book a 1 to 1 session to give the best Variety of backgrounds. On arriving at the Woodland hide I was greatly impressed with the setup and Paul's expertise in making the whole area very photogenic. The reflection hide is set up to provide stunning images too. Paul is very knowledgeable and great company to spend the time with.. Despite it being a very wet morning the Squirrels did not disappoint and I left with so many Images far better than I had hoped..
After discovering I am now looking forward to another visit to another of Paul's hides in the near future.
For anyone looking to photograph red Squirrels I would recommend Paul's hides as a must..

Just returned from a brilliant Mull otter workshop trip. Despite wicked weather conditions over the three days, Paul successfully spotted a number of otters and positioned us in the best vantage points to capture some awesome photos. A magical Mull experience - thanks to Paul, a lovely, generous guy and accomplished photographer and guide. Thank you - we'll be back soon!

What an amazing experience with Paul at the red squirrel hide yesterday. Paul's expertise with the wildlife, and understanding how best to capture images, is second to none. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much for a truly awesome day, and for all your kind help in making sure we got those all-important shots.

I spent yesterday with Paul and the Red Squirrels. What a great experience, although the light was poor, I thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Very friendly and good advice on settings and other information regarding post processing. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Paul to other photographers and will visit again.
Keep up the good work.
Regards Trevor.

I booked a Red Squirrel workshop with Paul having been impressed his website and the images that he takes.
I am new to wildlife photography and Paul helped me with the best settings to use. I was amazed with the activity of these creatures and managed to get some great shots with Pauls help. Paul set two hides for me, a jump & stone wall set.
All in all I had a great day & got some super photographs. I hope to be doing more with Paul in the future & would recommend his workshops.

Having visited Pauls squirrel hide in Yorkshire 2 years ago I booked a trip with Paul to the Isle of Mull. I cannot recommend either more highly. Mull was just totally amazing. Paul tracked down Otters, buzzards, hen harrier, fly catcher, stonechats, deer, to name just a few of what we see. The amount of wildlife was incredible . Pauls knowledge of wildlife is so impressive. During my stay we went to Staffa and Lunga where the puffins totally take your breath away along with the scenery. Two trips out to search for sea eagles was totally amazing. We had such a great time and I cannot recommend this trip highly enough, for any photographer/wildlife enthusiast you will be in your element.

Cannot recommend Paul enough , He goes the extra mile to make sure his clients get the shots they can only dream of before going on his workshops, Nothing is too much trouble for him ,Once you've mastered his geordie accent you will enjoy every minute spent with Paul. His squirrel , badger and owl workshops are all set up to get excellent captures. Thanks Paul for all the good times already and looking forward to all the good times in the future..
