Thanks, pirl. I'm glad you're enjoying them.

Thanks, nanny. The book by Alan Poole, "Ospreys - A Natural and Unnatural History" is a fascinating read. You might be able to get it in a public library over there. There's not a copy in any library within Australia (go figure). I purchased mine through Amazon. You could also start by having a look at anything Rob Bierregaard has written or been involved in. Here's a link to one of many http://www.jamestownpress.com/news/2009-08-06/Front_Page/TRA... If it's behaviour about birds in general, it would probably be best to check with Resin.

Thanks, duc. From my perspective, seeing photos of the Ospreys and Bald Eagles together and knowing that your Ospreys are much larger than ours, gives me some idea of just how big the Bald Eagles are. (Hope that makes sense).

Thanks, Burd. Here's another shot from yesterday of the male arriving with a clump of weed. I wasn't going to post it because of the #&8@!?% branch, the bane of our lives.
