Osprey with a Porgy, from the shore of Long Island Sound in Milford, CT. I wasn't quick enough to catch the dive, but it was amazing to see. Taken mid August.

Very cool looking shot, rabate! It almost looks like the osprey is surfing.

After a nerve wracking week without a computer due to a motherboard failure I decided to rebuild, upgrade and do a clean install of Windows. This is just test to see if everything is working as it should be!

Blue Tit in the garden this morning. I have got the Canon 600mm f4 III on hire over Christmas. 20 days for the price of 3! A very, very good offer. I just can't afford to become too attached to it!

it's interesting. Yours are layers of beautiful colors.
Ours are same beautiful colours but plastered all over the bird. Well mainly. But certainly not such clear demarcations

Thanks Phoenix, we don't see these birds often but they are certainly spectacular.

Another pose from the beautiful boy.
