Sublime and Beautiful Sunday the Osprey
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by 
I have to admit I both chuckled at myself and felt a bit of a fool when in previous posts I had mentioned seeing the Osprey from the Harbor walk here in New Bedford, and how I never managed to catch any shots of it catching and flying with a fish back to its nest, and then yesterday when going through some of my older photos and came across these shots from August this year which I somehow had missed seeing when I imported them to my computer, or maybe I am being less selective and picky now editing and sharing these, than I was back then when I was hopeful to get better shots.
After all they are not the greatest of shots, but I guess there not terrible either so I decided to share them this morning.
Starting with my favorite shot I caught of it flying back to its nest carrying a fish it had just caught

And another shot of it heading back to the nest, now I did take my bigger Sony 200-600 Lens to this spot a few mornings hoping to get even better and closer in shots and to even catch it diving for a fish, but the days I had that lens with me the Osprey seemed to be hunting elsewhere and I never saw it, but next year I will be trying again

the Nest silhouetted by the rising sun, to be honest I am not sure if the osprey is landing with a fish or the silhouette under the top osprey is the other osprey
