Like very much the simplicity of that shot Debra. Nothing to distract the eye that focus on the action. Sharp details and a lovely story. Agree with Heather, He is holding the fish a very precarious way. Just that adds up to the interest. Well done.
Thank you Yves for your feedback always appreciated. Yes Ospreys talons for holding fish are very unique. See reply to Heather I quoted a sentence from All About Birds Website.
I know if they are like bald eagles, Debra the male needs to eat some away from the nest or he may not get any. The females can be quite demanding when raising young and even when they're not as they are bigger than the male. He seems to be a good provider.
I believe you are right about that Harold. She was quite persistent in calling him over to the nest and at this point she will not leave the nest for a break unless he is with the chicks. Thanks very,ugh for the info and comments.
An excellent view of the Osprey getting his meal and it shows how strong and well suited his talons must be to hold the fish in such a precarious position. A really interesting image that tells a story Debra and well photographed too.
Thanks Heather appreciate the feedback. For sure Ospreys are very adept fishing birds, also known as the Fish Hawk. I have taken the next sentence from All About Birds Website it explains about their talons. (Ospreys are unusual among hawks in possessing a reversible outer toe that allows them to grasp with two toes in front and two behind. Barbed pads on the soles of the birds' feet help them grip slippery fish.)
