Ptarmigan & Mountain Hare Photography Experience

7th December 2019

 
Our Ptarmigan and Mountain Hare Photography Experience is a great opportunity to learn some wildlife photography techniques, whilst adding stunning images to your wildlife portfolio. At this time of year the Ptarmigan and Mountain Hare are changing from their Summer coats to the pure white they need to camoflage themselves against the snow in Winter.

This one-day Experience sees us travel to Gairnshiel, where we aim to find Red Grouse and Mountain Hare and then on to Glenshee, where we will take the chair lift to the top of Cairnwell in search of Ptarmigan and Mountain Hare. After we descend the mountain again, we have lunch before heading back to Aberdeen via Gairnshiel, for one more look for Red Grouse and Mountain Hare.

For this Photography Experience you will need to be fairly fit and have good balance, as we will be hiking around the snowy mountain top at Cairnwell in search of the wildlife. We carry out regular recce trips and give participants weather updates in the days before the event, so that you can ensure you bring what you need for the conditions.
