The male Osprey had his share of the fish before delivering the half eaten fish to the female to feed the chicks. The female quickly ducked down as the male was approaching the nest.

Excellent timing on this action shot with some interesting insight into their feeding routines. He stands out beautifully here against the clear sky and your focus is spot on.

Agree with Harold Debra. Nice action shot on the day to day of the osprey. Appreciate the good lighting that shows all the beauty of the under wing details and the brown colour of the upper side. It is not their first nesting, so they are doing great.

Great light and focus of this Osprey entering the nest, Debra. The fish tells the story.
