Osprey Hide in the making

[speyghillie]

Hi All,
After watching many Osprey's diving and taking trout of my small Loch i thought it about time to make a new hide at water level,
So far the winter has been mild and the digging not so bad, got tonnes to move yet, but it should be perfect in a month or so, then hopefully i will get some great shots in the early morning.
Thanks Gordon.

Great idea Gordon, I hope all your hard work pays off and you get the shots you are after.

Looks like a great idea, good luck with it.

Your certainly putting in a lot of luck, you deserve some great results.

Well done! Perhaps you will be able to hire it out to all us Scotland loving wabbers when we come up for hols There's a little group of us heading to the Cairngorms in March but it doesn't look as tho you will be finished by then - its a lot of back-breaking work - but a smashing idea - I hope you get lots of enjoyment out of your hard work

Hi PMG,
Send me a PM of when you will be here.
I will have the hide done before March, got to as the first male birds will be arriving, i have also put in a perch that is at eye level from my other hide, a young un-ringed make was sitting on the Perch most mornings last summer.
Hope he makes it back ok.

Sunday morning.............. digging.

Thanks Gordon.

Is that an Osprey sitting on your wheelbarrow?



What a great idea; Is there any danger it is going to fill up with water!

Looks great! I remember how much work it was digging out the foundations for an outbuilding at my last house so I don't envy you the toil. It'll all be worth it when you're getting those fabulous shots though. I'm looking forward to seeing them!

Looks like a great project. I thought building a selection of glass tanks was hard work!

That sounds like every wildlife photographers dream who visit Scotland, as we do Gordon......Well done you.
