A few photographs of an Osprey settling in with the fish just caught. The dive was under large trees, played havoc with focus, so only a few were keepers.

It’s always interesting to watch the first take off after diving under, they shake off the water in mid flight.

Click the image below for a clear view of the ‘shake’.

Lucky for me this bird settled on a large branch over the water to feed. There must not be any other aggressive birds of prey here, otherwise he would not have been out in the open.
