Osprey with bloodshot eyes.
Taken at 8 am this morning trying to kill a goose that got too close.
6 Feet social distancing enforced.
A good tip if anyone reads this. The Osprey pair were both in dive-bomb mode with 2 geese that were floating too close
in the water below. A frantic 30 second or so event. I tried to follow the Osprey which was really difficult as they
were diving up and down and attacking and I
missed the shots of them striking the geese in the water which they both did.
The geese eventually managed to fly out of the area.
I should have focused on the victims, the geese, and I would have got the shot.
A good lesson learned. Next time.
A reverse curve and reduction in blues on the bird really makes a significant difference. The black feathers are just too heavy there is lots of lost detail.
