Osprey at John Chesnut Senior Park, Palm Harbor, FL
On a technical note, I did crop off the left end of the wing during photo editing because otherwise it made the osprey's face smaller and harder to see. I generally don't do that but, for this image, I felt it provided a better image.

One from two years ago and a trip to the National Trust managed Rievaulx Terrace.
These hover flies make a great subject as they are often statuary for long enough and the narrow depth of field allows for backgrounds to be blurred.
The Archives Revisited.
November 2008.
A day trip to Brandon Marsh in Northamptonshire. Not many photo opportunities. But i had forgotten that i had this sequence of Kingfisher hovering images.
A sequence of 4 images.

This hover fly was enjoying the water along this grass stalk. I was the photographic stalker in the garden.
An osprey (pandion haliaetus) hovering high above the Fraser River, in British Columbia, Canada. I was fishing for sturgeon, from a boat, when I saw this bird and it remained above us for some time.
I had several chances to photograph the pied kingfisher while it was hovering but I wasn't satisfied with any of them. Either the light was bad, the bird was simply too far away, distracting background, it was always something.
Our last day this guy finally cooperated a bit. Thank you!
Nairobi, Kenya
Finally! Managed to catch a hover fly doing what hover flies do!
At the botanical gardens yesterday with the focus crew.
This Common Green darner was hovering over the smaller pond at Newhall Community Park, Concord, California. The pond was clogged with algae, making for an unpleasant appearance to the eye, but for some nice bokeh effects in the photo.
Even at 1/5000 shutter speed wings of the hovering hummingbird can/ will get blurry :-) @ Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
When I didn't find any puffins on the Island of Skomer, I started looking for other wildlife to photograph. This seagull was using the strong wind to hover in a near stationary position just near a cliff. Unfortunately, the wind was so strong that it made it almost impossible to keep my long lens pointed in is direction.

This white tailed kite had some poor little critter in his sights, and right after I took this shot, he plummeted straight down into the marsh grass to grab a quick meal.
Great Tit
Parus major
This is the largest UK tit with a distinctive two-syllable song. It has a green and yellow body and a striking glossy black head with white cheeks. It's a woodland bird that has readily adapted to man-made habitats to become a familiar garden visitor. It can be quite aggressive at a bird table, fighting off smaller tits. In winter, it joins with Blue Tits and others to form roaming flocks which scour gardens and countryside for food.
