. . .Also, in response to fugl's post as it appears to be at least partially aimed at me- jealous of what exactly? Photos on the BBC? Even if they asked to use any of my photos they'd get told where to go (up there with the Daily Mail/Express/Sun in the 'no chance' category for me). Opportunity to shoot Ospreys at the hide? Nothing stopping me, except I have no interest in getting those shots. I prefer to chance upon my photo opportunities, rather than the experience offered by those sorts of hides. I'm primarily a birder, who takes photos. The 'better' photos referred to weren't my own. I was thinking of these ones from someone I follow on flickr,

though I have seen many, many others on facebook in Scottish Wildlife photo groups that were, in my opinion, better than those the BBC chose to use.
Jealous of the equipment? Nope, what I currently own is good enough for me and should be for a few years yet, barring equipment failure.
That doesn't leave much to be jealous of.
It was also mentioned that there was nothing wrong with the photos - I agreed that they were "nice pics".
Those that enjoy this sort of wildlife photography are perfectly entitled to do so. It is their money and time after all. It just isn't for me, or, it would appear, quite a few others on this thread.
