It's a great success story, and I'm lucky enough to live right in the middle of an Osprey stronghold. In the summer when I'm out and about, it isn't that unusual to see an Osprey fishing, although I'm never fast enough with the camera to get a good shot. I think there are a lot more nest sites around this area than the obvious Loch Garten site, but people tend to keep them fairly quiet.
