OSR Wildlife Photography I'm Oliver, I picked up a camera for the first time in Feb 2025 and have quickly got the Wildlife photography bug!

Follow me as I learn the art of photography and capture interesting wildlife moments along the way :)

I love how this frame-filling clip captures every detail, and the intensity in its eyes.

🦅 White-tailed Eagle off the coast of Lochaline — swipe to see it soar.

It was incredible to watch these birds hunt and glide effortlessly across the sky. This one had a wingspan of around 2.5 meters — truly majestic!

🦦 Eurasian Otter on the beach — swipe to see it enjoying its catch.

I really enjoyed the fieldcraft involved in finding and photographing these creatures. Did you know their vision is very poor? 👀 Despite this one seeming to look right at me, I likely just appeared as a big rock on the beach.

Their hearing 👂 and sense of smell 👃 are extremely sharp, so on days like this you have to stay completely still. That even means:

• Avoiding shower or deodorant 🚿
• Wearing dark clothing 🥷🏿
• Using a hood to shade your face 🧢
• Only moving when the otter dives 🌊

🦌 A group of wild Red Deer stags in the West Highlands, with one standing out in the middle, locking eyes with me — grass still hanging from his mouth.

An overcast day suited the scene perfectly, keeping everything soft and muted, and letting the character of the stags do the talking. I love moments like this, where there are so many subjects but you spot that one animal in the group that stands out.

🦦 Eurasian Otter on the Isle of Mull.

We watched this little hunter on an overcast afternoon, and I was lucky enough to be just meters away when it emerged from the shore with a crab. I had to rely on fieldcraft tips shown by and remain silent and motionless, so as not to interrupt or disturb it — these moments are all about patience and respect in the field.

An absolutely awesome moment to witness — speed, power and precision all caught in one frame against the incredible Scottish backdrop. Seeing a bird like this up close, doing exactly what it’s built to do, is something that really stays with you.

🦌❄️ A Red Deer stag and hind, caught perfectly still on a frosty morning in Bushy Park a few weeks ago.

Something in the distance caught their attention, and for a brief moment everything aligned — two silhouettes, breath hanging in the cold air, completely alert yet calm. Moments like this are over in seconds, which makes them all the more special when they work.

🦭 Grey seal pup resting among the rocks.

I loved the contrast between its soft, white, fluffy coat and the dark, granite-like stones — such a small, delicate presence in a rugged environment.

🦭 Grey seals along the Norfolk coast.

I went on an adventure to the coast of Norfolk on Sunday in search of Grey Seals 😍.
Despite the masses having already left after having their pups, I was delighted to find there were still a few lingering — more than happy to pose for the camera.

Did you know that 40% of the world’s grey seal population reside here in UK waters? Thousands of which can be found on our beaches during pupping season (Aug-Jan).

Here are a few of my favourites from the encounter.

🦌 A Fallow buck, caught with a startled look as we unexpectedly locked eyes on a cold, grey morning at the weekend.

I couldn’t help but laugh to myself when I saw his reaction on the back of my camera afterwards.
