Osprey Ballet by terryliv

Osprey Ballet

The two Ospreys rode the air currents above Kirra Point for ages and appeared to be performing some sort of ritual dance manoeuvres. They would drift apart then come back together. If you look closely, you will see that one is often looking at the other. It was brilliant.

I especially like the bottom right. Looks as if they are holding hands - errr wings.

It went on for more than 10 minutes and I took almost 150 shots of them. Unfortunately they were pretty high up and the 300mm Tamron was struggling. Would have loved Bill's @photographycrazy 800mm.
Fabulous collage Terry - this must have been wonderful to watch!! Fav!
