Golden opportunity for those in Scotland......
Loch of the Lowes near Dunkeld.
I was there a few weeks ago.
It's a loch famous for the fact that Ospreys live and breed there.
I've checked the news and the birds are now back 'home' from Africa and the eggs are laid.
Security is very tight but there are places created for photographers.

Well that was a fun day. Went to a few places but I DID manage to snap the ospreys. I'll post them later with an arrow pointing to it LOL
