Osprey - Pt II
Canon EOS 1Ds MKII, 600mm f4 IS, 1.4x conv,f5.6, 1/2000, ISO 400, G1548, G1321.

Hi All,

Spent a great morning with the Osprey again today, giving great views again, missed a couple of golden chances when it dropped into the water right in front of me :rolleyes: It was only catching small to medium sized Roach, so was eating one, sitting up for 10 mins then fishing again.

Also had the pleasure of taking along fellow UKNP'er Chris Lloyd :wavey:

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Excellent flight shot! I thought they had all gone now. Lucky you to get that blue sky! I wonder if the eye/face could do with a little brightening?

Agree Ian, If only I knew how to do it :confused:

Cracking flight shot, very envious. I'll be expecting you to post one with a fish tomorrow, though. :biggrin:

Good one.
Don't like to break the mould but I reckon this would make a great verticle crop ??
Good canvas to play with.
Just a thought
Cheers

Wish it was mine Rob, I think Johns a little jealous too, Yes I do LIKE IT the birds got somewhere to go in that great sky you have, I've been lead to believe that blue skies are hard to get over your way, yes the detail is great to, we have osprey over here but they difficult to find at this time possibly the cause of this long drought we are suffering.
