Osprey action at RSPB Loch Garten

Nestled in the Abernethy Forest is RSPB Loch Garten, home to a world-famous Osprey nest. In the early 20th century, Ospreys became extinct in the UK following many years of persecution and egg-collecting. In 1954, a pair of Scandinavian birds set up a nest by the loch - and so the recolonisation of these birds began. 
 
Take a look at our camera to catch up with Ospreys as they build bonds, squabble and feast on fish. You might even catch a glimpse of Redstarts, Chaffinches and more of the surrounding Caledonian pine forest wildlife.

A forest frenzy at RSPB Loch Garten

Along with Ospreys, Loch Garten is home to a whole host of rare wildlife. The reserve is one of the few places in the UK where visitors can see Crested Tits, a species restricted to northern Scotland’s pine forests and plantations.

Red Squirrels bounce from branch to branch in Scots pine trees, while Great Spotted Woodpeckers and Siskins raise their broods in their nests.
