Fishing Ospreys

February 12, 2022 at 6:31 pm

Any visit to Speyside is not complete without time spent filming Ospreys as they catch trout in the numerous lochs. It is almost impossible to determine where they are going to fish and even if you guess which loch they will visit they are going to be a long way off your camera so the image you obtain will be quite small. There is a way around this but it may cost you more than one hundred pounds per day – two places stock trout in smaller lochs with permanent hides especially for the Osprey photographer.All this weeks photos were taken at one such place in Aviemore and in my view it was money well spent – there is no better experience than having an Osprey dive into the water less than thirty feet away and then rise holding an enormous trout. www.facebook.com/gordonyateswildlife
