osprey

Another shot of yesterday's Osprey encounter

Driving along the side of the inlet we noticed a bike lying on the footpath and the bright Lycra clad cyclist up in a tree. As we passed, June glanced round and said 'Osprey". I stopped and sure enough there was an Osprey and the cyclist, level with each other and only about 10ft apart...

It has been a cold rainy day today. This guy looks miserable eating his lunch in the rain.

A new pair of osprey have build a nest in one of the areas I frequent It is actually very close to where the eagles in my previous posting build their nest. This pair choose the crosspieces at the top of a power pole to build on, as many osprey do. The local power company, National Grid, now...

Another shot taken in the late afternoon sun.

Fish is hitching a ride back to the Osprey nest.

Was just walking home along the beach at last light when I spotted this Osprey feeding in a tree close to the steps leading up the small cliff to home. So many good shots it's hard to know what to post.

Had to get away from my freakin' boss today so this is where I spent my lunch hour.

This is the first time that I have seen an Osprey at this park. Knowing that there were huge schools of goldfish/carp in this pond, as soon as I saw the Osprey soaring over the pond I got my camera. I envisioned him grabbing a bright orange fish. He did just what I had hoped for after dodging...

I was browsing through my archives & found this very old picture taken in our 4th floor balcony in Mumbai. There were a lot pigeons which used to lay eggs in between the flower pots & this one probably came looking for them. Unfortunately its legs had got entangled in something. As it...

The ospreys are back in force now. They have a new perch in our area. I would like to see them build a nest close too.

Have a breeding pair nesting just a few hundred meters from home so often see these hunting at low tide although usually not so close to shore .

My goal this year to improve in my "motion" photography. I want to add some more dynamic photos to what I do, so here are three from a couple of weeks ago! I got this shot at the very first part of the morning light. I had to really raise the ISO just get enough speed. It is a bit...

Another shot of this Osprey trying to lift off with this large Mullet they can grow to 70 cm long and weigh up to 4.5 kg

Female. Uncommon winter visitor/passage migrant to Singapore.

Or in this case a Fish. After several attempts to lift off with this very large fish and spending a lot of the time actually in the water this Osprey had to give up and drop the fish. At one time I thought he was in real trouble as the feathers were getting waterlogged , a long time was then...

This is probably full frame. I was walking down a path with a canal on my left, when I looked up and saw the Osprey in this tree I couldn't back up.
