Osprey (Crop).

Watching a group of gulls and terns foraging alongside a fishing boat, I noticed an abnormally large bird making its way to the north. As I trained my lens on it, I realized it was an Osprey, but presumably an adult from a southerly population that breeds on the Arabian peninsula and into Egypt, told from the nominate northern subspecies by an average of paler dorsal coloration. Quite lucky to have seen it, hoping it'll stick around Monday!
