This week I attempt to photograph wild barn owls. This video is actually the accumulation of at least ten sessions at the same site. The owls here have been very erratic making it difficult to anticipate there movements and figure out the best time to catch them out hunting. Find out how I get on in this weeks barn owl video.
My stalking techniques to get close to animals

Photographing Scottish Dippers
Ok, for a photographer family holidays can be quite challenging! You know the sort of thing, you got to a beautiful place packed with wildlife and wonderful landscapes and if you had your way you’d disappear for eight hours at a time into the hills and mountains. It can be difficult to remember this is a family holiday right?
I am often faced with this situation and over the years I have learnt to compromise and still manage to get some photography done as well as keeping everyone else happy. In this video I quickly scout out the area and decide what’s attainable in the time available and head off to shoot dippers. This wonderful little bird only two hundred metres from the cottage.
