    3 ospreys were sharing the fishing grounds with the Caspian terns. While the mute swans and the flamingos completely ignored the diving ospreys, the coots panicked each time.

    Not a great photo, as a lot of crop needed to get it even this big in the frame, but my first day I had good looks at an osprey, and I had good looks 5 times at my time at Rutland! According to the person in the main entrance, there were 30 breeding pairs around Rutland water!

    After driving round exploring a few roads we hauled up at a picnic area overlooking a gorge. Rather distant, on the far side was an Eastern Osprey looking rather as if he was on sentry duty LOL.

    CR9 with a catch

    I'd captured this bird spotting and diving ......... behind reed beds :( But, still got him passing by with the catch, I'd run out of window room, hence the low shot

    The Osprey is a unique fish-eating raptor placed in its own family, the Pandionidae. This is probably a male based on its mostly white chest. The yellow eye indicates an adult. Ospreys lack the supraorbital ridge above the eye making them appear less fierce and more bug-eyed than most other...

    Fisheagles can be found in Gambia along the long Gambia river. Plenty fish to catch.

    This was the third Eastern Osprey, we saw in a couple of hours. Picture really not great as he was on the far side of the river and up a tree. I'm not sure if the tangle of twigs is from a very large old nest, or if it may be mistletoe, which seems to be a bit of a problem over there I think...

    Not sure if he's asleep or preening, or just turned his head away from me!! We left Lake Seppings and drove inland for quite a while up the length of Oyster Harbour. There a causeway crosses King River where it empties into the harbour. We stopped there for a scan about. I spotted this Eastern...

    An early start today. I cycled through the dark night and had a pleasing start this morning. Quite a rarity here. Read about it but did not expected to see the osprey. Taken about half an hour after sunrise. Pretty distant but still ok, I guess. The bird enjoyed the warm rays of the morning sun...
