This male Osprey is calling to his partner, who is on the nest with a chick, telling her he’ll bring her some food as soon as he’s finished. He has to catch 6 – 7 fish per day which takes a lot of energy, so he always eats first.

Many thanks for checking out my photos, please feel free to give feedback! My wanderings in nature and observations of birds, particularly raptors, is what gives me great joy and constantly reminds me of the beauty and strength of life. My favourites are raptors, I love their freedom, grace, ruthlessness, pride, adaptability and flexibility and I learn much about parenting, protection and blind faith from them.

Glad he has a partner to share that BIG fish with. Great capture. Kathy :)
Many thanks, he’ll still eat most of it himself, he needs the energy to keep feeding his family I guess!
