Osprey are very territorial, and it’s fun to see the interactions. I love #1 and #2, although all are great, because of the wing positions.
You’re really posting some great shots!!

Great set of images Peter! No favourite. There’s a wonderful story-telling in the images.

Wonderful captures with excellent BGs! Well done!

A nice series of the Ospreys, Peter. The second and fourth are my favorites. The leading bird is just a bit soft in the first image and the shaded head in the third image takes away just a bit from the impact.

A very nice series and I agree with Dennis that the second and fourth are the best ones. You can also tweak down the highlights slightly to bring out some of the feather texture…Jim

HI Sandy, Glenys, Diane, Dennis, & Jim
Thank you for your kind words.

Ps re-post with some white lower.




Excellent flight and interaction shots, Peter. I like the background as well and there’s good separation between the birds and background.

Hi Allen
Thank you for the comment.
