The Tipling, Tesni, Thomason Tour
Tour Overview
An exciting new collaboration combining the expertise and leadership of David Tipling, Tesni Ward and Brydon Thomason, inspired by a lifetime spent among the islands and their wildlife.
With over 25 years’ experience leading photo-tours on Shetland, with more than ten of them with us, David is no stranger to the islands and we are thrilled to have Tesni join our team for a second year on this exciting tour. Whilst all camera users will receive full guidance and support, we have two OM System specialists on board.
Showcasing the very best of Shetland’s spectacular wildlife from waders to seabirds, this tour visits the best locations. They include Sumburgh Head, Noss, Hermaness and Fetlar. One of many highlights will undoubtedly be the exhilarating opportunity to photograph diving Gannets at very close range on our exclusive charter to Noss NNR with ‘Shetland Seabird Tours’. For many though, the star attraction (and our signature species), is the Otter.
