My strange addiction to Ospreys

[coastalconn]

I just want the perfect shot. I'm a chef, I work late, but three mornings in a row I have dragged myself out of bed early in the morning. Tomorrow morning will probably be number 4. A few from my set on flickr "Never ending pursuit of the perfect Osprey shot" I have been trying different crops and angles so feedback is welcome!

Nice shots CC. Number 1 is one of the best BIF shots I have seen in a little while and #4 with the catch is also great. When I first saw it, I wondered if he would be able to lift that fish as it looks like quite a load.

I love your osprey pics! They fly over me all day hunting fish out at the river where I work. Awesome birds!!

Thank you everyone! Day number 4 and I am once again awake. Ospreys are quite amazing! They are greedy though. The fish in number 4 is smallish compared to what I have seen them attempt to pick up.. Maybe today will be the day
