Osprey eating fish - (Pandion haliaetus )

Osprey eating fish - (Pandion haliaetus ) - I photographed this osprey, intent on eating a freshly caught fish, heedless of the words "Private property - NO FISHING", but he, not knowing how to read, continues to fish and alight on this pole almost as a mockery. Nikon D850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 9.1, 1/640 sec, ISO 450. Thanks for your comments

Priceless! Great image and perfect opportunity. How much did you pay the Osprey to pose on the sign? :-) All kidding aside , well done!

Thanks a lot, Scott for your visit and for your nice comment that made me laugh, ciao Giangiorgio

Excellent capture, Giangiorgio! Best, Tina

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

an excellent image of this osprey, not ony technically, but the fact the fish is eaten where you're not supposed to fish makes it priceless. The background blur makes sure the viewer can concentrate on the message of the image, which has exactly the amount of DoF it needs. Very well done, into my favorites! Kind regards, Vincent

Many thanks Tina for your visit and kind comment, ciao Giangiorgio

Grazie mille Vincent for your wonderful comments and your continued support, ciao Giangiorgio
