A sad encounter with a barn owl brought to my attention just how much individuals, local groups and small charities are doing to save our wildlife. Despite all the suffering and hardship nature is currently enduring, there are plenty of people fighting in its corner.

Wildlife, Nature, Summer ID Challenge

When I’m out exploring I like to know the names of the things I find, so I get frustrated when I’m stumped by them. So I set myself a challenge to put a name to my unknown nature.

On a recent camping trip I was reminded of all the things I’ve missed by not paying attention to nature. And all the things we stand to lose as well.

Apr 8 Otter Survey Training

Wildlife

I’ve not had as much luck spotting otters back here as I did when we were in Scotland. So what better way to improve my chances of being more otter aware, and help the local mammal group, than by volunteering to help out in their otter surveys.

I love photography, I really do and part of this trip was all about taking loads of pictures and honing my photography skills. It hasn’t really happened like that and I’d hit a bit of a photography wall. In order to try and kickstart my camera skills again, I booked myself a photography workshop on the wildlife mecca that is Mull.
