The first two images are from one sequence, but unfortunately the Osprey failed in its attempt, but was lucky a few minutes later.
Canon 7Dii; Sigma 150-600 at 600, 1/3200 at f6.3, ISO 250 for first two and 388 mm, 1/800, f7.1, -1/3 EV, ISO 100 for third shot.
Wonderful catches on the dive, but even better is an Osprey with a whole fish!
Great series of shots! I have not captured an Osprey diving. I’m hoping that happens some day. It would be such a thrill. Thanks for sharing these.
I enjoy the first frame the most. Great pose and the inclusion of the surf and water is an added bonus. Nicely captured.
That first frame is very nice. Maybe just do a little clockwise rotation to get the horizon straight and you’re all set. I would change anything else. Nice image and fun series.
I too really like the first image. Beautiful action shot of the Osprey in its environment
A very nice series, Allen. As others have noted, the first shot is excellent. The pose of the Osprey and the surf really make it special.
I can only repeat the comments. Great series and a wonderful first image.
Hi Allen
Every time I photograph Ospreys, this is the shot I am looking for, nice work.

Nice series , Allen! My favourite is the first image, and it shows the behaviour as well the surroundings. Love it! Hans
