Shot this evening. I waited for a while for one of the Osprey bringing the food to the nest. After 1/2 hour it finally did. It landed in the nest, handed the fish to other Osprey sitting on the eggs. Almost immediately they switch the guards. The Osprey which was sitting on the eggs took the fish and took of with it and landed on nearby piling and start munching on the fish (looks like a Rainbow Trout).
It was really windy, so I had to keep shutter speed high.

1D4, SIGMA 500mm f/4.5 EX DG HSM + 1.4X TC (700mm f/6.3)
1/3200, ISO-5000, f/9, handheld.

The wing spread of the incoming Osprey is excellent, and the trout adds a great finishing touch to the image. Great image and related story!
