Our base for this Highlands Osprey Adventure is the World famous Grant Arms Hotel in Grantown on Spey, if you have not visited the Grant Arms, just follow the link below to their website, it is an amazing hotel, totally geared towards Wildlife minded guests, and included in the cost of this trip is Dinner, Bed and Breakfast for 5 nights. https://www.grantarmshotel.com
Unlike all my trips and workshops this is not a ‘Photography’ workshop….. it is a trip for Osprey lovers who enjoy watching Ospreys!
The Osprey is a bird that I have been watching and photographing for a very long time, I lead photography workshops in England, Scotland,Wales and overseas to photograph these amazing birds. But I have long wanted to run a trip to give an opportunity to the many Osprey lovers who just want to watch and visit the many places these birds can now be seen in the Scottish Highlands….. and of course grab some photos along the journey.
Working in conjunction with the Grant Arms Hotel, it’s a trip that all your needs will be truly catered for, you can sit back and relax and enjoy the Osprey experience.
