Osprey 5

Pandion haliaetus

This is the last of the Osprey series. As you can see, THE OSPREY DROPPED IT !! I assume the Osprey realized what it had. As Jim stated in a previous post, Puffer Fish are toxic, and the Osprey probably wanted nothing to do with it.

1DX, 800mm f5.6L IS
1/1600, f10
ISO 500

As an individual shot, this is probably the weakest, though the techs are excellent and it finishes off the story very well.  An excellent series on this encounter, Matt.

Hi Matt,
Great behavioral shot. It makes the viewer wonder what happened and read the story.

Hisham.
