Thank you all once more. You should see the number of shots I delete and there are definitely limitations on the reach of a 400mm lens for fine detail. Sometimes I just happen to jag the odd reasonable shot when the lighting is just right.

I went to the nest this afternoon. Little Harmony was being fed when I arrived there, although had just about finished eating. Dad came and went several times. Shortly after the chick had finished eating, he arrived at the nest but took off again and headed across the bay, which I thought was a bit odd, as it didn't seem likely that he'd be going fishing again quite so soon. I finally saw what had drawn him over there. Another Osprey way off in the distance and then I lost sight of both of them. It was nothing like what was going on on Saturday.

It was quite a warm afternoon and Big Hook just stood with a wing slightly extended for periods of time to provide shade, or the chick would make its way beneath her chest for shelter from the sun. This shot is of the chick being fed when I first arrived.

I'm going to start a new thread. Please come on over to here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1051498/
