Ospreys visit Springburn loch
Today the ospreys were spotted from the kestrel cabin window soaring above the loch in the beautiful spring sunshine hoping to catch a rainbow trout. They fly down the Pluscarden glen past the osprey cabin as they have done for the last 25 years.
When Williams family were on holiday last week they spotted 16 different types of birds while out walking around Springburn.
No matter what time of day or year there is always something different to be seen while on holiday at Springburn near the moray coast.

Things to be looking out for next month.
The osprey usually visits to go fishing on the loch. The young deer are due to be born. A fawn was once seen being born in the garden at the kestrel cabin by the Robinson family.
The rhododendrons will be in full bloom. The most important event will be the arrival of Charlie the Highland Cow calf. We are busy preparing the field for him at the moment.
Dog friendly gardens at Springburn
A new wooden fence has been erected around the garden at the kestrel cabin. This makes it safer for children and dogs to play in and yet you can still watch the wild ducks on the lochan in the wood from the kitchen window.
We have had a busy season so far with a family from as far as Orkney down to visitors from Northampton. Families with dogs have remarked about the new enclosed garden.
Anniversary
It is 23 years this month since we completed the build of the buzzard cabin. This cabin still has unspoilt views from the picture window in the lounge. Badgers, deer and rabbits are regular visitors. Since then we have built the osprey and kestrel cabins which are located on different sites around Springburn.
Springburn log cabins are still a family run business and because we are located on the spot, we are available throughout your stay for whatever queries or concerns you may have.
We continue to hold our 3 star Visitscotland award for the Osprey cabin and 4 stars for the buzzard and kestrel. We recently achieved the AA Quality Standard 4 stars self catering award for all the cabins.
Pets on Holiday
Why not take your dogs for a relaxing holiday to Springburn. They will be made most welcome at no extra cost. Within the 50 acres at Springburn there are beautiful peaceful walks or you can take them for a short drive to the clean beaches at Burghead, Hopeman or Lossiemouth.
This bright and cosy lodge has french windows which open onto a veranda looking west towards Pluscarden Glen (Home of the famous Pluscarden Abbey). Ospreys have been nearby.
Kestrel nestles on the edge of a five-acre natural woodland. Many species of wildlife can be observed from this peaceful setting. The cabin has panoramic views facing south from the french windows.
A private track follows a small burn through a wooded glade up the hill to the Buzzard cabin. This cabin is situated on an elevated site and shares the open woodland with deer and badgers.
