Seeking by byronbackyard
Courtship in ospreys centers on food and nest sites. In migratory osprey populations, males and females arrive at the nest site separately, the male often arriving several days earlier than the female. Male ospreys sometimes perform a conspicuous aerial display near the nest site. This display usually occurs during early courtship, and may serve to attract potential mates or to threaten an intruder.

You are definitely a master at taking photos of ospreys! I really like this one. The way you caught the flight makes him look so powerful. They are among my favorite birds and I can see that you would agree.

Many thanks, I totally love them and spend hours and hours a day in the estuary when they’re breeding. Love a fellow Osprey lover.

Wonderful capture! I agree with Liz, in that this shows the power of the bird!
Thanks Trish … I like the light through his tail in this one .. they have beautiful tails when they’re spread out in flight!
