Magical Mull Workshop
Dates: May 2020 (FULLY BOOKED)
Join myself for 3 full days on the magical island of Mull. The Isle Of Mull is the second largest island in the Inner Hebrides and a haven for wildlife.
During this 3 day / 4 nights tour we will be boarding the Lady Jayne twice to photograph the White Tailed Eagle (Sea Eagle) as it dives into the sea to catch fish.
We will also visit the tiny island of Lunga which is a paradise for seabirds with thousands of Puffins along with Guillemots, Kittiwakes, Razorbills, Shags and much more.
We will spend 4 hours on the island which gives us ample time to photograph all of the species on this charming island.

Fitness
There is very little walking required on this tour as most days your photography will be done either from a car or a boat. The only exception to this is the Lunga day, whereupon arrival at Lunga you will need to negotiate a short walk over the boulder beach. This beach can be slippery on occasion however you will receive assistance if required. This is followed by a short walk up a very short but relatively steep slope to reach the Seabirds.

Dippers are one of those birds everyone loves. We’ll spend 4 hours at 2 destinations in the Yorkshire Dales, as they go about their daily routine.
This workshop is for four nights with three days photography. We will travel to Sweden on the Thursday then spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the hides departing on Monday morning back to the UK.

This is an outstanding opportunity to photograph this magnificent mammal in their natural habitat. We will be looking to capture the Red Stag Deer, on their rut, bellowing close up and at distance with the Highlands in the background, we may even be lucky and get some action shots.
The Lake District is one of the most beautiful places in Great Britain, with it’s natural outstanding beauty and also breathtaking lakes and mountains.
