Wonderful timing, Graham, and a good job on the exposure.  The wings must have really been moving to blur that much at 1/500.  I kind of like the way they work with everything else pretty well frozen. 

Is it my imagination, or is the Osprey banded (I think you call it ringed over there)?

Hi Dennis. Yes all the chicks in this area are ringed each year and most return year after year. The owner of this trout farm nets all his pools except one which gives us photographers a chance to see these elegant raptors. Graham
