Wildlife Photography | VLOG – Part 1 | Isle of Lewis & Harris, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, UK | 2024

PART 1 – Isle of Lewis & Harris - OUTER HEBRIDES Today was our time to leave the beautiful Island of North Uist and head for the ferry to the Isle of Lewis & Harris for our second week in the Outer Hebrides. We had a last glimpse of a Short Eared Owl before boarding the ferry for the short crossing from Berneray to Leverburgh. The video condenses my road trip up through Lewis and Harris to our cottage for the week, so sit back relax and enjoy the scenery the islands have to offer. I was pleasantly surprised at the varied landscape as you’ll see over the next few videos.My intention this week was to fly the drone, but it had a hissy fit and wouldn’t fly, so no drone footage throughout my stay on Lewis and Harris. My other intention was for Lewis and Harris to be more of a Landscape week, with a bit of wildlife as and when we came across it. There was plenty wildlife, especially eagles which we saw every day.We arrived ahead of the booking in time for the cottage so decided to do some exploring of the area, and located some of the sea stacks near Mangersta – pretty impressive they were too.All images and video footage has been taken either from the car, strolling on a beach, or from a public footpath to minimise any disturbance to the wildlife. This video collates highlights caught throughout the day with the following equipment : Road videos : Gopro Hero 12Wildlife videos –Nikon Z8 / Nikkor 180 – 600 f5.6 – f6.3 lens Photographs of wildlife : Nikon Z8 / Nikkor 180 – 600 f5.6 – f6.3 lens Photographs of Landscape : Nikon Z8 / Nikkor 180 – 600 f5.6 – f6.3 & Nikkor 24 – 70 f4 lensOver the coming weeks I’ll continue to share my captures on the Isle of Harris and Lewis.
