Well folks,
It's been a bit quiet over the past week what with Xmas and hideous temperatures here in Perth. We're promised 5 days of 40 c so the birds will be hiding. It's been very windy as well of late. Early in the morning when walking the dog mum and whopper are soaring overhead. She's not fishing yet but otherwise independent. To round of the year I've two photos from late this evening - my last of the year Osprey fix! This is whopper out on the branch this evening about 6.00 pm in lovely light. The first shows just how windy it was with beautiful feather motion. It's heavily cropped so apologies if quality isn't up to Marg's hi standards.
