Red 8T is definitely back and his transmitter has stopped working. Yesterday Julian Orsi, Rothiemurchus ranger saw him at the fishery. This winter they have built new photographic hides at the special osprey pond and its been freshly stocked so is now ideal for people to photograph ospreys. Contact Rothiemurchus Estate if you want to hire a hide. Julian tells me that last year Red 8T was the dominant osprey at the fishery and often chased off other visiting ospreys. It’s great that he is back for another breeding season after a difficult spring migration weather wise.
