This may have been the juvenile Ospreys first flight. He was sitting just by the clump of green leaves for quite a while letting the wind play with his wings. The female Osprey was moving back and forth between the nest and the pole chirping at the youngster. In this picture she is sitting low in the nest on the left hand side waiting for junior to make his move. So cool to watch the dynamics of the nest.

Wonderful action capture Debra. You probably couldn't have chosen a better day to photograph this little family or better timing on this shot. One of life's biggest moments for them and a rare opportunity for any photographer. Well done.
