Now is the time to see Ospreys in Yorkshire. They are on their way back from their breeding grounds in Scotland and are likely to stop near fish ponds before they begin their 3,600 mile journey back to West Africa.
I spent a week this summer photographing them at a fishery in the Highlands.
Rothiemurchus, near Aviemore, has a designated pool stocked especially for these beautiful birds of prey. Osprey are breeding again in Scotland after being wiped out partly due to the fact that they competed with anglers. So it is a sign of the times that a fishery is now welcoming them with open arms.
The site is so popular I had to book a year in advance. To read about how I got these shots click here to link to my latest column in the
Yorkshire Post.
Great shots Robert :-) It's good to see that these handsome birds can now live peacefully alongside the interests of angling.
