Argyll has one of the lowest levels of population in the United Kingdom. As a result you can expect to encounter a wide variety of animals and birds. With regular sightings of otters, beaver,  eagles, puffins, seals, red deer, whales and basking sharks the wildlife photography opportunities in Argyll seem almost endless.

We know that a chance meeting with a buzzard on a fence post, a deer on a forest road or a red squirrel running up a tree trunk are truly wonderful experiences. It’s unlikely however that we can turn these encounters into stunning wildlife photographs. By the time you have removed your lens cap it’s already too late!

The most successful wildlife photographers spend time observing the habitat. They watch the behaviour of an animal or bird. Finding the right location can be a long and difficult process. But help is at hand. Across Argyll there are a number of highly skilled professional wildlife photographers who are willing to share their hard earned expertise. They have local knowledge and have spent time creating carefully located hides.

Ethical Photography

“Take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.” We don’t know the origin of this saying but it sums up our feelings perfectly.

Consequently here at Photo Argyll we would like to encourage you to follow these basic tips when photographing wildlife:

• No photograph is ever worth risking harm to an animal, bird or the environment.
• Be aware of times when wildlife may be nesting or bringing up their young.
• Keep your distance. If an animal appears stressed by your presence move away.
• If you are really serious about wildlife photography invest in a good quality telephoto lens and observe from a distance.
• Observe – but do not attract. Baiting animals with food or sounds can endanger wildlife.
• Be true to yourself and your craft. Do not fake the shot unless you make this clear.
• Leave places as you found them. Even better why not pick up litter that could harm the wildlife.
• Do not pick wild flowers or dig them up. Leave them for others to enjoy too.
