For taking images of the Red Squirrels, we recommend bringing a telephoto lens such as a 70-200mm, 100-400mm or 150-600mm. For closer shots a short telephoto zoom such as an 24-70mm is recommended. Paul will be on hand with a selection of SIGMA lenses on the day. Lenses and available mounts will vary.
