Just wanted to show you one from earlier this month. Osprey's pass through here on migration to Sweden and Finland.

This fellow rested at a local lake to get som "take-out", apparently the gull thought he should share....

Taken in crappy light against the sun!

20D + 500/4 +tc1.4; iso400 f8 1/1000 handheld, cropped to 70%

PS. I'm on my way to the US for a little birding, will be offline a week!

Hi Helge,
Given the light and other stats, not a bad shot at all!
The gull makes it quite humorous and in my book, any picture of an Osprey is good.

Enjoy your trip!

Cheers,
Roy

Hi Helge

I think the gull is being a little optomistic - nice capture!
