… at least by me in the last three years.

A pair of Osprey showed up at the marsh, now that the ice is gone.

The Osprey — in all the variations — is found all around the world
but in Antarctica.

Shot with a 600 mm ƒ4 on a D850, here are two take at 100%, that
should give you an idea of the distance they were at…

Any Osprey capture is a good one.

Why… no such birds in the UK, Mike, or so rare there too?

Very rare in my area, you get them sometimes for a brief visit in the autumn at fishing lakes, i have some HI8 film of one landing on a pole with a fish and then being mobbed by Crows.

Mobbing Crows… all the same, everywhere,
they're too clever, bold for their own good!

There has been a major, and successful, effort to reestablish them here In Southern New jersey. The local wildlife refuge has lots of nesting pairs every spring and they are a joy to watch. Here is one of my favorites from last year,. I call it "Domestic on the marsh".
