Paid the ospreys another visit this morning. Got there a little earlier and ran into Lostdingo over by the rook pools which was good. I'm sure his pics will be much better than mine. I picked up a couple of tips, one of which is get good gloves. Brrrrr.

Hard to get pics of the ospreys this morning as it was very windy and cold.
As you can Mrs Osprey has still got him working hard at building the nest. I'm sure he carried half a tree up there at one stage.





Updated with second pic

Nice capture Dave. Heidi is impressed. She was starting to say that it was one of my better shots of the Osprey until she saw your signature. I'd be proud of that one.
I think it could do with a little more shapening and some brightness and contrast adjustment to really make it come alive though. I had a quick play and some small adjustments really made it pop.
I'll have to go down early tomorrow to see if I can better it.

Great capture Isaw an Osprey with a large amount of cargo as I was walking back to the car but somehow just didn't think the 12-24 would have done justice

It was great to meet you this morning and sure you will have even more excellent shots!

yes...the gloves were nice this morning

Great shot Moo. Persistance pays off.

Great shot. The bird look very intent on the job at hand

Nice one. What lens did you use?

just looked at this on my main monitors.
way better than on the notebook.

your best effort to date. well done.

Fantastic image Dave

Just brilliant! To capture an Osprey in flight with nesting material, and to do it so well, is a real credit to you.

Excellent stuff

Cheers

Thanks all. These were taken with the 80-400 VR. VR got a workout this morning because of the wind. A Better Beamer doesn't help. It acts as a big sail....

I reckon they are just great images and something that I aspire to be able to capture one day.

Well done

Terrific captures Dave. Really like the first, compositionally superb.
cheers
