The actual Osprey dive is shown below, but I thought the real action was as it hit the water. Hard and loud. I selected that as the page featured photograph.
Osprey dive from between 30 to 100 feet, straight down.


Their 6 foot wing span helps lift them from the water, yet I have seen them float for a few minutes as if catching their breath from the crash landing.


It’s never easy to photograph this but so rewarding when you manage it.
My favourite capture is the one with least bird. Thanks for sharing
Wow, congrats, these photos are amazing!
