I was all packed up and ready to head home when this Osprey landed on the rocks with lunch. I wasn't going to pull my gear out and set up again as I figured the bird would probably fly off as soon as I hit the rocks(Murphy's Law). I ummed and ahhed then decided I'd be stupid to miss an opportunity like this. I pulled all my gear out scrambled down the rocks and finished off my 16GB flash card. I'd loaded another and fired off 6-8 frames before the bird let off a distress call. I looked around and saw a couple with a dog trying to get in on the action. Needless to say the bird would not tolerate the mutt and proceeded to fly up to its penthouse apartment(tall pine tree overlooking the headland.
