It Was Worth Getting A Bit Damp P5123953

We had an early Winter blast today. The temperature didn't quite make the mid teens and drizzled nearly all day. I needed a photo so I had a drive around the beaches and ended up at Point Peron. Luckily I had my big lens with me because this fellow was sitting on the railing of the viewing platform. I was able to get quite close to him and I was hoping that he might take flight, which he did - as soon as I turned my back :(

Beautiful birdie. Glad you had the right lens. How often do we have the wrong one? I think that why I use my FZ1K so much, I’ve ALWAYS got the right lens(es)!

Fantastic shot, love the moist drops on the railing, but the bald eagle makes the shot of course :)

beautiful osprey and capture ... nice details

[LManning (Laura)]

That's a gorgeous shot. Isn't it always the way that they do whatever it is you're interested in after the camera is off?

[Diana]

Fabulous capture and detail, how lucky could one get.

Super shot - especially the way it highlights his talons.

[Pyrrhula]

A great capture of this beautiful and impressing bird

[Jane Pittenger]

Poor cold osprey…great shot though. Whenever I look at my photos and not at the bird, they take off

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful capture..
