Thank you. They are my favourite bird of prey. There is a webcam that has been following a female in Scotland for I think 20 years or so. I'll have to look for it. She migrates to Africa over the winter and was very ill last year but pulled through and has produced many offspring over the years. She's somewhat famous in raptor/Osprey circles.

Superb shot Mike - is it a 300mm at F/4 shot?

masterserg · 13 August 2011, 06:55 AM

Thanks guys. They like to eat the head first. If I was a fish it would be at the top of my list to avoid going out at the hands of an Osprey. It's not a pretty sight.

Thanks Kai. It's the 500mm f4 with the 1.4x tc for 700mm and was shot at f5.6 and 1/500. I wish I could get away from using the 1.4x so much but with wildlife it tends to be glued to the lens.

Thanks. I think the 500mm can produce some nice bokeh.
