How to Photograph Squirrels INCREDIBLE PORTFOLIO images

- This is a How to Photograph Squirrels guide. I capture incredible images of woodland wildlife. Woodpeckers, squirrels and nuthatches to name a few.
In brief, I've seen Paul's pictures from his hides and they were so impressive I contacted him to arrange a meetup. I'm so glad I did...
A few weeks ago I met up with photographer Paul Fowlie at Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales. Paul owns hides nearby where you can photograph your typical woodland wildlife. I've purposefully played this down a bit. I expected a good day's photography but I certainly didn't expect to be blown away as much as I was...
The day started off with a brief hello and handshake as they do. A few minutes drive and we arrived at Paul's hides. For now, forget about the wildlife for a second. The location is a woodland photographer's dream' what an incredible place! Then, within minutes, I was transported into a childlike state. Not only was I in an incredibly picturesque woodland location... but there were amazing animals everywhere.

I could go on but I'll let my excitement shine through in the video.
This is a real 5-star experience!
A huge thank you to Paul for entertaining me for the day.

I can confirm Paul is an excellent host and the reflection hide is just awesome, I did the jump and wall as well just pre-focus and hit the shutter button on the jump my A7III at 10 fps achieved one or even two shots with each jump the cheeky scamps even came into the hide. The next time I visit Paul will be the Little Owl hide !
Lovely images. With the constant threat from Grey squirrels and squirrel pox the poor red is under struggling to survive.
Cheers Mark 👍👍
I’ve been to Paul’s hides for the squirrels 🐿️ and the reflection pool, absolutely brilliant 🤩 really brilliant and Paul is really helpful too 😊
Wonderful wildlife photgraphy.
Thanks Brenda 👍👍
Absolutely Amazing the reflecting pool is awesome. Great images.
Cheers 👍👍
Blown away. Truly awesome place and photos.
Thanks Lorna 👍👍
Thank you for putting this up last year Gary, as a result of watching it (although I mistakenly told Paul I had seen the video on Simon Baxters channel, Doh!) I had my day with Paul yesterday and apart from being an amazing experience for somebody who doesn't do wildlife I got fabulous photos too thanks to Paul . Can thoroughly recommend it too.
How on earth could you get us mixed up? I’m much prettier 😂😂
I’m due to do another couple of videos with Paul at the end of this month. Keep an eye out.
Superb Gary, we are visiting Paul in August and after watching this, I wish it was tomorrow, your photos are superb and keep up the great work.
Have fun. You'll love it 👍👍
A great experience with some fantastic results.
Cheers 👍👍
Absolutely superb. Wonderful vlog and it’s great to do something different
Cheers John 👍👍
You know you want to do more wildlife Gary!
Happy to do anything with a camera Neil 😀 👍👍
Photgraphing squirrels? You’re fired!
Looks a great location. Super images as al sue. I’ll definitely be looking to visit. I’ve looked for red squirrels all over and they’re so elusive.
Defo worth a visit 👍👍
I had an awesome day there a couple of years ago and came back with some amazing pics
Hike down's a bugger with a dodgy heart mind!
What a place and a fantastic idea to enable anyone to take pictures of wildlife like that. Incidentally, it was a wild life picture I took a few years back that changed me from taking snaps to taking half decent images. Hats off to Paul for creating such a place. Excellent pictures Gary.
Cheers Colin xx
I love what you do and especially this video… as far as how what where you photographed this content it doesn’t matter to me… meaning if never mentioned how it was set up it doesn’t matter to me… you don’t take a photo you make a photo…. Thanks
Out of this world
Cheers Ken 👍👍
Another awesome vlog Gary. Isnt taking photo’s of quite red squirrels amazing. They are so fast!
Ive taken photo’s of Woodpeckers, squirrels, short clawed otters.
These can be seen at the WWT at Washington, Tyne & Wear.
Looking to your next & future Vlogs and tutorials.
Regards
Graham
Cheers Graham 👍👍
Excellent shots in a great looking location. A privilege to be able to see Red Squirrels in almost completely wild surroundings when most of us will only see Grey Squirrels. Must check it out when I visit the area.
Interesting to compare with @DaniConnorWild who went to Sweden to photograph Red Squirrels which is not an option for many people.
Gary! Brilliant images!
Cheers Darren 👍👍
I think you are right about the software as I have noticed how much it has advanced over the last couple of years
Cheers Trevor 👍👍
Wow just amazing to see and watch them, fantastic work as always
Cheers 👍👍
Thanks Gary love our brutal honesty regarding the Mach loop spent 3 days up there with not much activity but will be going again, ever hopeful! and the info on the hide which I also hope to book
Thank you very much Carolie. Very kind of you xx
What a fantastic place Gary, and for sure I will check out Pauls channel, I use a very similar technique to capture Hummingbirds in the backyard, a lot of fun for sure, the images you captured were stunning, I seem to recall you capturing some awesome seal images before and I remember you and Mrs G photographing wild birds, thanks for sharing fantastic as always.
Very observant John and spot on. Cheers 👍👍
Right, after watching this excellent video I immediately contacted Paul and booked myself onto his Red Squirrel day. I thought I was a reasonably good wildlife photographer. Being completely self-taught I arrived and met Paul. A thoroughly decent guy, great company and he showed me how to use my camera properly!! Got probably the best photos I’ve ever taken. Immediately booked myself onto another of his workshops (badgers). If you are into wildlife and like to spend a day sat in a hide, with zero phone signal! Paul is amazing. Cheers Mike
I need some commission from Paul 😂😂
Glad it helped 👍👍
@@GaryGough to be fair he recommended I joined one of your workshops too. 😂
Hi Gary, bloody brilliant!! Very impressive indeed.
What a fun time you had. Beautiful
Fantastic Gary 👌👌👍
Cheers Carlos Thank you! Cheers! 👍👍
Great photos! Thanks for this video! I'm going to take some photos of squirrels on the weekend. So the video was very useful to me!
Wow possibly your best video, absolutely stunning!
Great video and some awesome footage and photos look forward to the next video as always.
The buz on your face Gary is enough. The thrill of wild animals even if it is a partial set up justifies the reward. Wonderful imagery too. Well done to Paul also. Enables many to photograph fauna where many would not be able.
Cheers Paul 👍👍
Nice one Gary - You've never seen a woodpecker.... I've never seen a Red Squirrel..... :-( I have tons of grey squirrels in my garden so might try a few of Paul's techniques.. thank you - really enjoyed that one.
Absolutely beautiful… were definitely going later in the year
We have just visited Paul's squirrel hides and it was amazing!
Just brilliant and it must be so satisfying!
I can’t believe you have only seen a Woodpecker on one occasion, I have seen scores of them but I have only ever seen one Red Squirrel in my life and that was over 40 years ago. To capture one is on my bucket list, they are adorable. I have been following you for over three years now Gary and this has to be one of the most enjoyable Vlogs you have produced to date. Landscapes change but they are always there, wildlife is elusive and it’s so satisfying to capture it. The leaping Squirrel shots were top draw 👌👍 Thanks Paul for inviting Gary so he could share his experience 👍
Very kind Garry, cheers xx
Gary the photos are absolutely stunning! Excellent work!
Many thanks!
This is such a beautiful video. The vast majority of people's experience of squirrels in the UK, especially the more south you go, is of greys. They are cute and plentiful but seeing a native red is really something special nowadays. Thank you for this.
Couldn't agree more! 👍👍
Wow these are amazing shots
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Thank you Cheers 👍👍
Great photos, the squirrel is amazing beautiful in flight.
Cheers 👍👍
Gorgeous images love love them love the set up :))
Cheers 👍👍
Just fab❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cheers Alan 👍👍
Brilliant photos, enjoyed watching this video
What a cool video! 😀
Thanks! 😃
You should really do this more often Gary! The pictures you took are really awesome!
Very kind, cheers 👍👍
Wonderful images! I love them!
Wow! Just found you, awesome work! Inspiring me to photograph more.
Well, I'd be buying Paul a few Pints, what a set up he has got there. Awesome images Gary you captured many thanks for sharing.
Many thanks 👍👍
Fantastic
Thank you! Cheers! 👍👍
Wow! Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers! 👍👍
Awesome ...
Cheers 👍👍
Another great watch and stunning images
Many thanks! 👍👍
I haven’t seen you having so much fun in a long time! A real treat
:) Thanks Carol 👍👍
The best images I have ever seen of red squirrels wow what a place… Will definitely like onto this place
Cheers Darren 👍👍
Very nice shots.☝☝☝
Cheers 👍👍
Great video - I enjoyed it. I photograph wildlife almost exclusively and would love to book a session at this place because there are no red squirrels in my area. I'll need to plan it because there's a fair bit of travel involved for me, but if we make a long weekend of it then it's possible. There's nothing "wrong" with baited shots or with using paid hides, although they do attract some negative comments in certain quarters. Provided the wildlife comes to no harm and there's minimum disruption then as long as you declare a baited/paid hide shot for what it is, it's a perfectly valid way to work. Looks like you had a great time.
Agree totally. Cheers Mike 👍👍
Wow ❤ !
Cheers xx
I loved the squirrel shots! Never have I seen a red squirrel before! We have lots of gray ones where I live. The pic of the bird and the squirrel together was amazing. Awesome reflections of the squirrel in the pond. Congratulations on some really special shots.
Cheers Dave 👍👍
Great photos Gary. We have red squirrels near me and i could spend hours just watching and taking photos of them and birds including woodpeckers. It's very entertaining and relaxing.
I certainly enjoyed it :) Cheers 👍👍
Just wow Gary , absolutely stunning. Loved the vlog , doesn't matter that the subjects we're staged , they're still wild animals in a wild ( sort of) environment. Outstanding photos too
Cheers 👍👍
Looks like you had a great day, could see it in your eyes (18.30) 👍👍👍👍fantastic Gary
Definitely Brian 😁 Thank you! Cheers! 👍👍
Looks like you had a blast. Nothing better than getting out in nature and photograph not matter what the subject is. Thanks for sharing
Cheers Willie 👍👍
Love the wildlife photos and I think that a capture of an animal in own environment is a great experiment. Because in a zoo it’s not so difficult to make an image
Cheers 👍👍
Great stuff,I loved it.
Much appreciated! 👍👍
Stunning shots Gary. I love the reflection pond collection
Cheers 👍👍
Super 😊
Thank you! Cheers! 👍👍
What a fantastic place and truly stunning images, great vlog, Gary

Cheers Jeff xx

What a wonderful experience and magical photos. Great stuff Gary!
Many thanks 👍👍
Some totally fantastic shots and thank you Paul for the set ups
Cheers 👍👍
WOW!! Great video
Awesome images captured there Gary. Portfolio worthy for sure 😊
Cheers Ivan 👍👍
Fantastic images and great to see the enthusiasm in the vlog. What a talented chap you are !!!
Oh bless you :) Speak soom xx
Adorable animals gary, I enjoyed watching it as much as you enjoyed making it.
Many thanks 👍👍
I would have tried back button focus with Servo-AF and auto ISO using AF Case 3 to see if that got better results with the jumping squirrels.
The focusing won't be quick enough. Pre-focusing works 100% of the time as long as you get your timing right!
Nice photos mate wott a lovely place hat off to you both wot a great vlog mate 📷 📸🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️
Cheers Andy 👍👍
Wow wow 😯 fantastic video Gary and absolutely stunning images you got there ...many thanks for it 🙂👍
Many thanks. Cheers Brian 👍👍
Reds are only found in a few areas of the UK. The pesky Grey being more common in general. However if you live in the South of England there is a colony at Brownsea Island in Poole harbour. A good time to go is around October when they start foraging for food to store over winter. Reds are just beautiful and Gary you've done a great job and been very lucky to see these wonderful creatures.
Cheers 👍👍
Awesome video and a fantastic setup! Thanks for preparing and sharing the techniques and settings
My pleasure! 👍👍
Wowww what an experience Gary, i think many of us in cyber space could ' feel ' your excitement - great images too !!!!
That looks incredible.
Cheers 👍👍
Wow wow wow what a location.
I absolutely loved the video.
No wonder you were like a kid in a sweet shop with the image's that you took.
They were amazing.
Definitely photo competition material.
I think my favourite one was the Pheasant and the Squirrel, and the Pheasant saying get off my land.
That's the way it pretty much was too :) Cheers 👍👍
What a fabulous setting and you’ve got stunning shots from every location Gary 👌🏽
Cheers 👍👍
Excellent photos mate well done 👍
Wildlife photography - I love it!
Many thanks! 👍👍
Bloodyhell Gary, that reflection pool is amazing, what cracking images 🥰📷👏 think I'll be heading up that way to book on with Paul 🥰
You'll love it 👍👍
Loved this Gary, wonderful images, looking at them close up on a 27" screen and they are amazing, and they made me smile, which, at the end of the day, is what it is all about.
Then it's job done Simon 😁😁
Cheers 👍👍
Incredible images ! Brilliant experience what a great back yard to have 😀
Absolutely nuts! 😂 what a facility that is. I don’t care that it’s baited. How else could you see such a beautiful creature so well. Incredible shots mate. Please turn off that dam af beeeeeeeeep!!!!! 😂
lol the beep stays. I'm old and stuck in my ways 😁😁 If you don't know what old people are like, ask David 😁😁
WOW!!!! What a fabulous location. We don't have squirrels like that in Australia but you were able to capture a variation of other wildlife as well. I will have to research some areas around me to see what I can find.
Many thanks 👍👍
That is a beautiful location! Fantastic images as always and the detail is incredible. Are you running those through Topaz?
So pleased to see you tried this Gary. Paul is a top bloke and the squirrel set up is excellent (so good in fact I’m going for my second time next Saturday). As an added bonus the surrounding area is just gorgeous so hoping to squeeze some landscapes in as well. Fabulous photos and excellent video - Paul’s bookings will go through the roof which he deserves as he is so passionate about the squirrels and his conservation work. Clive
Cracking day indeed. Send him my regards please xx
Gary excellent collection of shots there. Very natural pictures, ISO not a problem from what I could see. And another genre under your belt, I wonder what next week will fetch.
What a set up Paul has created. I’m just surprised that the squirrels looked so slim 😂
You'd think they'd be real porkers. He feeds them that much most days 😁😁
Well done Gary, great to see you enjoying yourself so much and getting great images, nice one. Paul did super helping you along and his hides etc are brilliant 😁👍
Wow, that's such an amazing location. Fantastic images Gary. I've never seen a squirrel go in the water and we have so many different squirrel's in my area. Great set up Paul.
It was my first time witnessing that too 😀 Thanks Susan xx
WoW Gary, these are fantastic images. I’m not really a Wildlife Photographer but do like to capture things while I’m out and about, living near Rivington it’s a given
Cheers 👍👍
Wow, what amazing images!!
Many thanks! 👍👍
