There’s a certain charm watching and photographing Squirrels. The grey squirrel, often dismissed as ordinary, reveals a world of expression when you slow down to watch them. I’ve tried to capture those fleeting gestures: the cautious reach for a peanut, the focused nibble, and the poised stillness that defines its character. You need patience and … More Woodland Friends: Grey Squirrel
A few more captures of Little Red from our visit to Castle Howard Arboretum last year. The Arboretum is home to one of the UK’s most successful red squirrel breeding programmes. There’s a quiet charm in the way a red squirrels pause, alert yet unhurried, as if the forest itself holds its breath. I tried … More Little Red
There’s something quietly magical about meeting a creature for the first time. For me, that moment came with the red squirrel. A species I’d admired from afar but never had the chance to photograph before. Captured among the soft textures of fallen leaves and forest light, each photograph tells a small story of curiosity and … More Red in the Woods
Another post where I have delved into my photo archives. A couple of years ago we took a trip to Scarborough. While there we stopped off to explore Peasholm Park, which is known for its squirrel population. Anyone who knows me, knows that Squirrels are one of my favourite woodland animals. I love any opportunity … More Woodland Watcher

At some point I would love the opportunity to be able to photograph Red Squirrels. Although Red Squirrels are … More Squirrel in the Woods
A slightly overdue post due to not having been out exploring much with the camera lately. So another collection from my archives. Anyone who is a regular follower of my photography will know that squirrels are my favourite woodland animal. These particular shots were taken during last Autumn. Although Summer is my favourite season of … More Woodland Feast
On a nature walk a couple of weekends ago we spotted this little chap. Robins can be so tricky to photograph as they rarely sit still long enough to capture the perfect shot. Thankfully on this occasion this little Robin posed quite contently as I photographed him. As the weather is starting to warm up … More Little Robin
A much needed splash of colour after my last few Winter themed posts. Although I took these shots last October they make me think of Spring. Maybe it’s the luscious green grass, or possibly my longing for Spring to be in full swing after what feels like such a long Winter. I had forgotten that … More Looking for Nuts
Taken last month during one of our lockdown walks here are some more shots of my favourite woodland squirrel. This little fellow sat for quite some time allowing me to get as close as I dared without scaring him off. He quite happily sat within touching distance for at least 20mins if not longer watching … More Woodland Squirrel
