The gloom of winter and the plans for a summer to come

Oh I wish....

The gloom of winter has started me thinking about the summer to come and what to do.   Well I am starting to research a project that I have had in the back of my mind for sometime - Rutland Water Ospreys.   I am not sure whether I will proceed with this but it is getting my creative juices flowing.

What will this involve?  The first step is to try and work out where the osprey nest and then feed.  The photographs I want to make are based around the osprey catching a fish - this will require a certain amount of luck, patients and research.  It may also require me getting up early, especially in the summer.   We will see what happens.
