Would have taken me a 1000!

The first time i tried to shoot these i took about a thousand to get a couple of keepers, yesterday i took 88 to get a couple.

I prefer to be in the bush with the animals than a crowded city.

The second shot is a well done, classic shot. The first is one of the best osprey shots I’ve seen. I love the symmetry and color. If the background was a little more like the second one it’d be perfect. Magnificent.

Another 10 star image Weja. So many times I've been stumped by Harriers.
I think someday I'll do a trip just for them.

Hello Mike, these captures are insanely amazing. These have got to be the best osprey shots I have seen. Just wondering how far you were from the osprey?

Thanks.
