A simple Red Squirrel portrait, but how can you say no?!
Another plan during the day was to visit a Red Squirrel hide owned by Philip Price of Loch Visions (www.lochvisions.co.uk). Red Squirrels are a species I’ll never grow tired of. They’re amazing animals with so much character.
I knew from looking up Philip’s hide prior to the trip that there was lots of opportunities to work with different lenses to photograph them. While I do like close-up shots, I’m trying more and more to think a little differently and showing the animal’s environment. Just like with the Pine Marten series above, this is what I wanted to achieve with the Red Squirrels. Philip’s hide was the perfect place in which to do this as it overlooks Loch Craignish and a beautiful landscape either side.
