Fishhawk Feasting
just got back from Marcoola beach,the weather was gorgreous,went for
swimming,on the way back to the appartment,saw this Osprey{Pandion
haliaetus} he had just caught a black travelly {siganidae sp} and was
happy feasting away,carefully and quitely moved in as close as i could
to take these snaps,i was so busy trying to take pics{in manual} that it
shocked me that i got close enough to hear the fish slapping against
the tree branch,it was nice to put the camera down and just observe.
anyone who has done raptor photograpy will tell you how hard it is to
get in close,i had to take my chances with photos even though the
sun wasnt in the best position.
was happy to get these
regards Chris
