Superb David, was there much action? I tried to get a place booked last year but it was all booked up and with shots like this I'm not surprised

Hi Skip

Yes it was brilliant, I had an afternoon session booked....4.30 till dusk. Had 4 visits from the osprey, three of them were from No 28 one of the Rutland regulars, plus one other. Its a great set up, four of you in the hide with a radio and the owner up on the hillside spotting. The birds tended to come in and park up in a willow tree and then dive. We also had a red kite which came a couple of times plus of course a couple of Kingfishers. Give me a shout if you book next year and I`ll come down and we could meet up.

Just got back from Exmoor yesterday so a bit knackered, had a good few days out on the moor, one day after the ponies and got a low hercules, day after following the deer got a merlin, both types, chopper and bird.
