Well taken!  I like the head turn on the osprey.  I get the impression this was one of the losers in the fight over the nest.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice job on the exposure, Peter, and I like the wing position and nicely lit eye.  The Osprey seems a bit soft in the larger version.  I can't see what else the autofocus could have locked onto so I suspect it was just a bit of camera motion.  At the distance this bird must have been it wouldn't take much motion to get a bit of blur even at 1/1250 sec.
