Osprey Dunk
This is taken at the same place as before. A wee bit later in the morning. It has been cropped slightly. The Osprey has a fish, albeit a bit more than it can cope with. The fish escaped as it broke the water surface when the Osprey had to bear the fishs complete weight.

I have to admit that, after what has literally been 8 months break, it was good to get the camera working again.

500mm/Tpod/Hide
320'/800ASA/F4
about 80% of the frame, normal PS.

Superb image. The action, drama, setting, reflection, everything combines to make an outstanding shot.
