My name is Denis, the "fellow observer" of MargaretK's ospreys.
Margaret kindly introduced me to this forum; thank you Margaret.
I had no idea there was such international interest in our Ozzie ospreys.
Margaret's images of these birds in flight (the hardest to capture) are some of the best I have seen.
That they have been captured, handheld, by an amateur photographer, with only a brief experience in bird photography, is testimony to Margaret's inate special skills; well done.
Thank you Linthicum for the generous comments on my modest writing; very much appreciated.
If you have not apready done so, you might enjoy the musings "Solitude, Sea & Self" on my website (go to "Profile" and then "Solitude").
This image was taken with the same focal length configuration as Margaret uses, namely a Canon 400mm plus a 1.4 Converter.
We are fortunate to be able to photograph the ospreys from a safe position that allows us to look into the actual nest; this is indeed a very rare priviledge anywhere in the world.
