You need a longer lens Ian! Good capture though - where was this then?

Hehehe yeah i know i need a longer lens really badly ! lol

Was at Rutland Water, they have about 5 or 6 Ospreys there, part of a translocation project ! im going to go there a few times this year

I remember years ago when the first Osprey was sighted on Blythfield Reservoir. You couldn't get wthin half a mile of the place for parked cars, tripods and digiscopes.

Thoroughly enjoyable day otherwise?

I should also say that I had an early morning flight today on my paramotor and flew in a lazy morning thermal with a Red Kite. He followed me until I landed. Cool but no pics. Sorry!
