Osprey with Dinner

Peter -

 

Exquisite, all three, but my favorite is against the light blue sky with the detail of remaining lunch in its beak. I'll pass these along, too, to my raptor saving friend who lives north north east of you. BTW: She sent me a link to Miguel Lasa : photos : Ospreys, Finland- powered by SmugMug. Fabulous nature photos, but be certain to see his raptor set. In it you'll see osprey behavior that has probably never been published before. I encourage you to look at the other sets of photos on his site, too.

Beautiful images. The Osprey is very rare in the UK. We just have a few pairs nesting in Scotland. One of those animals that always takes your breath away.

And Wales... The pair nesting on the Glaslyn estuary held up work on the Welsh Highland Railway reconstruction earlier this year when civil engineering operations near the nest were stopped whilst they were breeding. They raised two chicks which left for Africa with the parents during September. They should be back in March.

Peter, Jason, Stuart, and John,

 

Thank you. I asked for a bite of the nice sashimi, but he/she wouldn't oblige. :) They're wonderful to watch, though.

 

Stuart,

Thank you for the link. Those are outstanding photographs. I've never seen an osprey, or any other bird for that matter, do two-fisted (two-clawed? :) ) fishing before. I'm trying to get pictures of more dynamic action. It'll take a lot more practice. That's for sure.

 

 

Peter
