In September 2024 I ticked something off my bucket list when I travelled to the top of the Forth Bridge. The event was organised by the charity Barnardo's so I ticked something off my list and contributed to a worthwhile charity. At that point we were doing cyanotypes as a project in camera club the first 3 images show the steps involved; it was something I really enjoyed doing and hope to improve my skills as the summer comes and they become easier to make

In October we spent a fabulous few days on a rewilding journey run by Scotland the Big Picture. We were located at Ballintean lodge in the beautiful Glen Feshie. We immersed ourselves in the beautiful landscape with a knowledgeable guide staying in comfortable accommodation with the amazing local food food. We visited a number of inspirational rewilding sites, spent time learning about regenerative farming and had lots of really interesting discussions around rewilding, deer management, the recent beaver reintroductions and the introduction of apex predators. I'd highly recommend it to anyone that has an interest.

I was lucky enough to attend a great Birds of Prey workshop in September 2024 organised by the lovely people at Ffords Photography and Canon uk. We had the fabulous Andy Howard as our guide and birds from the Rothiemurchus falconry centre. we were lucky enough to photograph Bespectacled owl, Great Grey owl, Goshawk, Gyr falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Golden Eagle and the White Tailed Sea Eagle. What a great fun day and a fabulous way not only to enhance your Bird Photography but to learn a lot about Bird behaviour
