Osprey.

I took this shot about an hour ago at a nest site.
Four Ospreys were fighting over the possession of this man made platform nest site along a road, close to my house.
My wife guessed that the parents and the two siblings from last year's brood might have been the ones trying to claim the site.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Karl
Classic Ossy coming in. The head turn could be better -( not sure exactly what ) - but a great shot whatever.

Karl classic Osprey pose, you have captured it beautifully.
Going over to Florida in August so might get a chance at these birds.

nice one Karl,nice pose with good detail.

Magnificent incoming pose with very nice wing position and HA. Beautiful colour pallet.

One of the better Osprey images I've seen on the forum. Legs extended, tail fanned, wingtips extended ... a nice stare to put it all together.

I like the little bit of extra room on the left, as that seems to be where his attention is going. Can't get much of a cleaner background (and it's nice to see this on a different bg than the typical blue sky)

Great shot Karl. Beautiful image
