An osprey giving me the side-eye during its fishing trip 👀 In the meantime it catched the rays of the low and sinking sun, as it peeked under the stormy clouds that make up the background ✨
I actually thought the local ospreys had died or stopped nesting in my area, as I hadn't seen them by this lake for three years. I was so positively surprised when I heard their characteristic calls whilst out walking on an evening in may! 😊
It turns out that the couple, their offspring, or maybe a new pair have moved the nest a couple of kilometres, so they were now on the far side of the lake! I was so stoked to find they were still there, and have spent a few evenings by the lakeside watching them 🦅🤩
It should be said that one should never opproach nesting birds, and espescially not birds of prey! They might leave the eggs and chicks if disturbed. It is better to watch from a distance, find out where they often fly, and then find a spot to wait based on that!
