Brother was fishing at Lake of Menteith, Stirling yesterday and throughout the day saw about 8 ospreys fishing the lake.
One osprey caught a huge fish not far from his boat - here is a picture of it with its trout
Capture taken from his phone - pity he didn't have his main camera with him and he didn't see anyone to ask any questions.
Also, he saw a few last week when fishing Carron Valley Reservoir which is a few miles south of Lake of Menteith and there were a few young ones going about.
Yes he did Cathy - he caught 11 but only brought 4 back. So we are having trout today and also a couple of my neighbours :-) It was a good day's fishing for him and the ospreys for he saw a few dives. He did mention that some were just skimming the water, not actually fishing and most likely were youngsters.
