Hi All

Has anyone had any recent experience of the new osprey pond at Rothiemurchus? £125.00 a session is obviously cheap compared to going to Finland, but it is still a reasonably heavy hit if the pond isn't functioning well for photography.

Any info would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Dont know about this one, but it may well be worth giving Rutland a ring, when I was at the Birdfair last year, there was a new hide there and a pair showing great interest in a new nesting platform, if they are there this year, you should be able to get great shots.

Hi Chris
Just come back from 2 stints at Rothiemurcus and would recommend it. Several opportunities to photograph a number of ospreys fishing over a 4 hour period. Backgrounds are mixed but there is scope for variety and as always luck on the day plays a big part.
