River Axe, Osprey

I spent the whole day photographing an Osprey at Seaton on the River Axe, Devon and was rewarded when this juvenile bird hovered a few feet away while flying into a stiff southerly breeze, blowing straight up the river.

 

It is a juvenile bird and is still learning how to fish. Having caught a small fish around 9am it wasn't successful again to 5pm but it sure did put in numerous attempts throughout the day.

 

This was a amazing opportunity to photograph a wild Osprey in its natural environment. Such a pleasure to see, enjoy and in no way set up.
