Wonderful series Ian.

Ian ... I have captured several series of ospreys catching fish but none of mine is half as good as what you have here! Very, very, very well done.

Awesome shots!

Fantastic Ian

Shucks, I knew how they did it; I didn't need an instructional video. Those are gorgeous, Ian. You sure do live in a great location and chose a great activity for it.

Great series Ian! Its funny the Ospreys around here just keep circling till they spot one then DIVE!

BTW ... do you know if ospreys fish into the wind? or only bald eagles do that?

Thanks.

Fantastic series Ian. Exceptional images of an expert fisherman!

Local differences I guess, Craig. Thanks.

Not sure, Linh....I would suspect they would, in a windy area. But I'm sure no expert. This spot was in quite a protected part of the river, and there was very little wind.

Thanks Carol, it's a series I have been wanting to get, and I found this guy perched in a spot where I've seen eagles before, which is what I was really looking for.

Very interesting series Ian, very cool stuff

Nicely done Ian, love the Ospreys.

Lol, Ian! Clever story and gorgeous captures. Outstanding!

All that work for that scrawny little pisces?
Your images of the Osprey are wonderfully detailed Ian and the story is fun too. I really like the 1st image, but something about #4 just speaks to me. Not sure if it's the wing action you caught or the Osprey in the branches, but it's awfully sweet. Great job as always!

It may be a scrawny little pisces, but it's a speckled trout (I think)! That's one less for my own lunch. Thanks for the comments Steve.
