Glad to hear that the habitat is so good that they are living long lives.
Hmm, that last one ... stop freaking out the birds !!!

I need to link this in the thread where the person returned his 300 f/4 lens because he needed VR in order to get a sharp image.

This actually made me lol IRL that ppl at my work are looking at me funny

Great set as always!

I know where this Osprey hangs out now. He is the banded one that is almost 23 years old. Shot with the D500 and my 300 F2.8 non VR. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

These are stunning! You nailed the eye in every shot! Bravo!

Love the shake off shot....but it is strange to see him carry the fish by the tail as ours always carry mid torso, head forward like a torpedo.

Folks have already said amazing, awesome, stunning... as I've run out of adjectives, I can only whole heartedly agree.

Great set of images. No. 2 is my favourite.

They normally do here as well, but it looks like the talon ripped through the fish and the Osprey was just trying to hold on.
