Befriending by

Unlike the juvenile, (Harriet) from last year, this new young Osprey (Bella) is fairly unperturbed by my proximity and she checks me out with interest. She has already fledged, although she will return to the nest for her parents to feed her for up to eight weeks. Dad has been flying above her with fish, which she is tried to get but he doesn’t let her, so teaching her to try and fish on her own.

About byronbackyard

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.
