Osprey fishing

The last few days have been so gloomy here, raining on and off, but I heard that the osprey have been regularly fishing on the pond. So sunny or not, I am not going to pass the opportunity to take some shots. The lack of light limited me to use f/5.6, hence oof wings.

great opportunity that you took full advantage of.
I like them all.

Excellent!

That's a great series Jo,I especially like the last shot, that really draws the eye.

Nice shots Jo considering the weather. I like them all too!

Great shots, Jo. Nice to have a somewhat restricted area you can catch them in. I have yet to catch one fishing, they have such a large area to roam and fish in

Good man, to be going out in less than favourable conditions, Jo! These are great shots that I enjoyed very much. I also really like that first shot because it shows the conditions of the day so well: dark, gloomy and wet.

I so like that you were able to follow him in and am happy for you that in spite of the conditions you were able to expose the shots. It is a good series Jo and the finish is so very real to what we see out there. Thanks for sharing this one. It was fun.

You did real well all in all, great series.

Excellent sequence of shots Jo... I like that last composition, I think it is a very unique and interesting shot.

Thanks Jeremy. I think its the birder's itch that sometimes we can't ignore

Thanks Mark. I was not able to get a good shot of the osprey with the fish that's why I followed it when it went to the sea side.

Thanks Ian, and there could me more fun in store for the birders here because once the baby ospreys are hatched, they will be fishing numerous times a day, but hopefully we will have sunny days to go with it

Thanks Levina. I liked it too. Before I downloaded the pic to my computer I thought those set of pics were lost because its too dark, but it was not as bad as I thought.

Thanks Lil, I hope these are just the start of having good pics with the ospreys

Thanks Dave, the osprey was a bit far so I went for some unique perspective
