Back when I used to kill things, that was a "left and a right". :wink

Now that I don't, that is still a freeking awesome set of photos. I might not catch and kill but I do love Ospreys that do.
I may have mentioned that a friend of mine has added a bunch of Brown trout to a loch at Boat of Garten and has regular visits from the local Ospreys.

How about this? He only put them in to watch them rise, feed on the prolific hatch and let them be prey to Ospreys and Herons. His own expense just to see nature work! :z16

He is a GOOD friend of mine  :z18
Sitting outside his house watching Brownies taking insects and Ospreys taking trout is amazing. Sitting with a guitar on the railway sleeper seat, with a large dram and watching that is something that I would stop working for if the lottery came round... :z13

Ospreys? I love 'em!

Yep Ewan, I stopped shooting about 30 years ago, when I realised catch and release was not an option  :wink

Great pic. It's a while since I've had a right and left on anything but that's not surprising since I shoot about once a year nowadays. I do miss it though  :z7
