Finally, Ospreys arrived. First time I have seen them this year and they were hungry. This guy caught a nice size fish. Notice how Ospreys rotate the fish head facing forward to reduce drag while flying.
1D4, SIGMA 500mm f/4.5 EX DG HSM
1/2500, ISO-1000, f/7.1, handheld.

Excellent flight shot, Ludo. I love to watch them fishing and around the nest.

Great flight pose with wings up, and the prey takes it up a notch, Ludo. Well Done!

A lovely capture of this beauty in flight and bringing home the lunch, Ludo! A good angle to get a view of the fish clutched securely in those talons.
