New images are now up in the Seabirds gallery (gannets and guillemots) and I'll be posting a lot of new shots later this week to improve the Marine ID section as well.

Otters, guillemots and divers this weekend in Oban!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The 2011 calendars have now been ordered, so if you pre-ordered one you'll be receiving it soon I hope (unless this new bout of snow causes more postal delays). If you haven't already ordered one, but would like one then get in quick because stocks are now limited!

2011 calendars are now ready to go! Check out the calendar page for more information.

Ok, after an incredibly hectic September getting the university dive club going for the next year and starting a PhD, I think things are finally starting to get settle down and get back to normal and I will be getting back to the regular update schedule this coming week.

For those of you who aren't already signed up, the Autumn newsletter will also be going out this week so subscribe now if you want to receive updates on the latest offers and the plans for the next season.

Back home again after a lengthy and fairly exhausting trip around Scotland. Photos will be going up this week starting today.

I'm off tomorrow for a field trip around Scotland to do some work on creeling vessels for the next ten days, followed immediately by a weekend's diving in the sealochs around Oban. I'm hoping to have some nice photos ready by the time I get back (once I've caught up on all the sleep I'm going to miss!). In the meantime, I'll keep the twitter feed as updated as I can while I'm away (service depending) so keep an eye on that to follow what we're up to.

Had a really nice trip out to the Farne Islands last weekend to get some diving done and take a few photos, which I'll get up online in the next day or two as I get them processed.

Back from a very cool trip up to the Isle of Mull, with some big groups of basking sharks and some stunning behaviours!

Had a cracking trip out to the Isle of May on Saturday, with loads of puffins, baby gulls, kittiwakes and shags still around on the island. Photos will be going up through the week, so check back often!

Had a really good trip out in the Firth of Lorne yesterday, although choppy seas meant we didn't get any cetacean sightings. There were plenty of seabirds though and the sea eagles didn't disappoint!

You can also now subscribe to Wild Ocean Photography to receive the quarterly newsletter with exclusive offers, details of upcoming trips and the latest photos from the site.

Off to the Firth of Lorne for a whale watching trip tomorrow, I can't wait! Hoping to see white-tailed sea eagles and Minke whales in particular, but the area is brilliant for all kinds of wildlife so it should be a cool day out!

I will keep you updated on what we find.

It has come to my attention that some of the options to buy prints and canvasses were not being displayed properly in all of the galleries. This has been fixed, and all sales options are now present and correct! Apologies for any inconvenience this might have caused.

To commemorate the end of our visits to the Isle of Lewis and the North Minch, I have put together a marine wildlife guide following our two years in the outer Hebrides. Hope you enjoy it!

A pdf version is available to download free through the Free Downloads page.

More images from Stornoway are now online, and the print prices and layout have been rejigged so will hopefully now be clearer and easier to use.

New gannet photos are now up in the gallery and can be seen here.

Great week so far up in stornoway! All the wildlife is out in force for the summer and the weather is cracking!

It's been a great summer for wildlife so far, and there is lots more planned, starting with a trip up to the Hebrides next week!

Some of the wildlife we saw and photographed while out in California in May 2010.
