After 15 hours sitting a hide and watching ospreys dive, I managed to capture this amazing image of a wonderful bird. Back lit and in black and white, truly dramatic and a wonderful osprey image. This is the story of how I managed to take that image.

A winter’s day of wildlife photography, trying to find the elusive ptarmigan on Cairngorm mountain and eventually encountering a mountain hare in its winter pelage. A hard day with a great reward, this is the tale of one of my favourite mountain hare pictures that I have captured.
