Osprey of Sandy Hook
The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), sometimes known as the Sea Hawk, Fish Eagle or Fish Hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large Raptor, reaching more than 24 inches (60 cm) in length and a 71 inches (180 cm) wingspan. It is brown on the upper parts and predominantly greyish on the head and under parts, with a black eye patch and wings. In 1994, the osprey was declared the provincial bird of Nova Scotia, Canada.

I was lucky tonight getting around thirty nice keepers of the barn owl on the home from work in nice light
Many thanks for all your continued comments and faves, which are very much appreciated. Here's hoping for a travel restriction free 2022.
nice to get some shots from the hide across the woodland I quite often lose them in this area and get blurry shots
Seen at the Rio Alcobillas hunting over farmland where it was repeatedly attacked by a Red Kite and driven off Unfortunately a dull cloudy day which affected the quality of the picture
Mum was keeping and eye out on the owlets. I think we have 2 little ones but I haven't seen them both in the same eyeshot yet fingers crossed :-)
