The Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus lives only in small areas of mature pine forest and old Caledonian forest of the central Highlands of Scotland. Male birds are distinguished by their bushy throat feathers and dramatic posturing during courtship. This is accompanied by a loud and resonant series of clicks and pops in a complex vocal performance. Numerous attempts at reintroducing the birds to Scotland have boosted populations along with land management to enhance the forest habitat and control predators and human disturbance.
Neil McIntyre's work is widely published and used in many national magazines like the BBC Wildlife magazine and national newspapers. Organisations like the Scottish Natural Heritage, the Cairngorms National Park Authority and the John Muir Trust are also amongst my clients.

In the British Wildlife Photography Awards Neil won the portraits category with an image of a red deer stag, with a further 4 other images having been highly commended in that competition to date.
