Thank you all for the warm welcome.
The pre-sunset light in particular, can do extraordinary things to these ospreys (if they fly!); we are fortunate to be photographing almost directly eastwards at this time.
When the ospreys fly in this golden light, their breathtaking beauty and grace is revealed, as shown in the accompanying image.
On cloudless days, we have about 35 - 40 minutes in which to capture such images, then the sun sinks too low.
It is rare to photograph ospreys in flight, in such wonderful light, from above.

(P.S. I have just noticed there is some digital noise in the larger version of this low res image, when uploaded; will check colour profile required by Dave's Garden.)
