Photogenic osprey - a photo on Flickriver

Photogenic osprey

            It's been a few years since I saw an osprey in the Noordwaard/Biesbosch. Two weeks ago I was pleasantly surprised when I saw an osprey far away eating a fish high up in a tree, but that photo is just too worthless to post here.

But apparently this osprey wasn't planning on not being portrayed, because about fifteen minutes later she came flapping loudly by, and I was actually attentive enough to capture her in her full glory. She made another attempt to win me over by splashing into the water, only there was no big fish hanging under the landing gear.

Later I came across her again, when she was scanning the area in a tree not too far away. Finally I was lucky enough to capture an adult sea eagle. That makes your day!
