The Osprey spends most of his time perched and looking for food, Flying must take a lot of effort for them, you don't often see them flying around just to do it. This guy often sits on the rooftops of the nearby buildings and waits for a fish to come to close to the top of the water.
The majority of the time, great grey owls do a quick dive down from a perch to attack its prey. In this case, the owl launched from a birch snag and went on a long, shallow descent, gliding a fair distance to head to a spot it thought there was rodent activity. No luck, this time.
Note the wing angle (slightly down at the back) and the tail feathers fully deployed to help slow decent. The overall body angle and attitude reminded me of those people they use flying suits to glide from cliff tops, hopefully down safely to the ground (images.app.goo.gl/Rn1vFJ1cXKD4MXwS6).

Back to a favourite, but little know spot of mine in West Sussex. unfortunately the mist was the wrong way round! next time i will get it over the water as opposed to in the sky! bring on winter
If you look closely just right of center at the far edge of the water you can just make out the two sets of red approach lights for runways 28L and 28R at San Francisco International airport. The photographer’s line of sight is pretty much underneath the glide path for airliners landing from the east. The near lights belong to the town of Milpitas. The two bridges spanning the San Francisco Bay are called Dumbarton (nearer and shorter) and San Mateo (farther and longer). This is from a series of parting shots I took after a long and fruitful afternoon hiking along a high ridge just west of Mt Hamilton.
Day 1, Nordenskiöld, Spitzberg (Svalbard - Norway).
Cette photo a été prise sur le bateau nous conduisant à Brucebyen. Nous nous étions arrêtés en face du glacier Nordenskiöld pour le repas du midi et, comme ce fut le cas toute la matinée, les pétrels fulmars nous tenaient compagnie.
Need to jump on that zoom a bit more. The pelicans glide along the top of the water, I suspect they are looking for schools of fish to start off their daily meals. Its amazing how low they get to the water.
The skating rink area at Battersea Power Station. I did wait for youngsters to stop climbing on the sign but gave up in the end and included some of them in the shot.
