Ptarmigan and Mountain Hare

This half-day workshop is for photographers at intermediate or advanced levels of ability and aims to provide opportunities to photograph some of the most elusive British wildlife. The Cairngorms National Park provides a spectacular home to many wild creatures. The Mountain or Blue Hare is Britain's only native Hare species. In Winter their coats change from a blueish-brown to white, helping to camoflage them against the snow at the higher altitudes where they live. The Ptarmigan is a species of Grouse that also lives at higher altitudes and has the same ability to change its appearance. You will need to be reasonably fit to take part in this workshop, as it involves a hill-climb of around 1,000 feet. The price for this workshop is £85. Due to the potential for inclement weather in the Scottish mountians, we have an alternate date set aside as an alternative for this workshop, should the weather be unsuitable on the primary date. The primary date for this workshop is Saturday 4th February 2012 and the alternate date is Saturday 11th February 2012.
