Aren't they fantastic? We get one, occasionally, in spring and summer, fishing at the trout lake 'out back' but s/he's never close enough to get a photo of. This one is superb!

It's such a thrill, Sue, as well as a treat! Sometimes I think it's the osprey but it's just a buzzard ( we have loads of those! ) ...but once the osprey flew right past me with a fish in his talons...no mistake that time! And no bl@@dy camera, either!!!!
