Again this morning - ospreys
I went out with the camera again this morning. Here's some of the photos taken.
Osprey family at nest. Female on left, two chicks, male on right. A little too far for my lens really.

At about 9:00 am, when the day had heated up sufficiently for there to be some thermals about, the male went fishing. It came back 20 mins later with this long tom (garfish).

It fed itself first, then one of the chicks. Ignoring the female and the other chick.

The it loafed around the nest for about 20 mins, recovering I think. It did a little nest remodelling.

Then it took off, and again about 20 mins later reappeared over some distant hills with a fish. A nice bream this time.

The female wasted no time, diving down and stealing it from him, with surprising force. She ate her fill then fed the both chicks.

I had to leave it at that.
