Hi Dave,
Just a thought .................. your Mum may well get pleasure looking at this website:-

Loch Arkaig Osprey Cam: Live Webcam - Woodland Trust

Watch the action from our osprey nest in the heart of an ancient Caledonian pine forest. Our remote camera brings you footage live from the Scottish Highlands.

www.woodlandtrust.org.uk

Excellent picture quality and loads of interest.
Parents plus 3 chicks. All doing well.

Theres a paid hide near Rutland water where the ospreys come in close to fish ,not cheap though think its about £90

Don't know if this helps - https://www.lrwt.org.uk/awbc - but it has a telephone number that might be able to advise.

We were there a couple of weeks ago, Ospreys showed really well, a little distant for photos apart from a few record shots

You need the Lyndon Visitors Centre.



good parking and good access track down to hides at Manton Bay as shown in orange, enjoy

You could also try contacting the local council disability officer. Depending on how helpful he/she is then can arrange all sorts of things including special access or parking. A few I've tried over the years with my mother got us ranger access to places (a bit hard on my car though on dirt tracks ) but got us a LOT closer to places than normal. Just for asking.
