A diving osprey plunges into a Highland loch to catch a fish supper. But the struggle isnβt over. A big trout can match an osprey weight for weight and the bird must get airborne again.
Believe me, to see wild Ospreys this is the best place in Britain. At any one time we had up to 5 Ospreys circling over the loch. Obviously, itβs not so easy to show the numbers on a camera.
This sequence was filmed in just a couple of hours. Chris was wearing a Balaclava so as to minimize the chance of the Ospreys being distracted by his presence. Very important as they are collecting fish to feed their young and so need to be as efficient as possible.
