    Every now and then I like to head north for a change to get a change of scenery. We stopped at the top of the Cairnwell for a cup of coffee but, as per normal for me the weather was foul and we couldn't see the slopes at all! So soon continued towards Braemar. Half way along I turned off the...

    I can't be that scary, can I!!?

    This Osprey appears to think I'm the most frightening thing he's ever seen!!! Surely not? Another look at the Balgavies Ospreys. Saturday Fun

    Back to Ospreys

    Above the swans on the island, the Osprey returned to that treetop with partner still below, having appeared to have finished his meal. A very heavy crop, but I'm quite pleased with the result really. This was so lovely to see after the disappointment at Loch of the Lowes, when the female lost...

    A few days later we paid a long overdue visit to Balgavies nature reserve. Osprey breed there but, in August, this was at the very end of the breeding season. I was just taking a picture of one perched on the very top of that tree when it suddenly took flight. It wasn't until later I realised...

    Same bird as in the previous image, just after take off (water is still dripping from the talons). One reason I like this image is because those are so clear to see, ouch if they grabbed on to you!

    It seems very cautious about us approaching, and took flight just after.

    I was leaving birding when I saw this young Osprey just off the side of a steep dam face, I had a very lucky pull off and pictured this bird through the passenger side window, I was astounded that it stayed there! That is wildfire smoke, it even effected the birding somewhat.

    Read the story-> https://www.villimilla.com/l/osprey/ Sky was full of ospreys in Helsinki, July. I counted four ospreys at the same time. I think it was juveniles practicing.

    3 ospreys were sharing the fishing grounds with the Caspian terns. While the mute swans and the flamingos completely ignored the diving ospreys, the coots panicked each time.

    Not a great photo, as a lot of crop needed to get it even this big in the frame, but my first day I had good looks at an osprey, and I had good looks 5 times at my time at Rutland! According to the person in the main entrance, there were 30 breeding pairs around Rutland water!
