In the SPREY zone! An osprey swoops towards the camera with its freshly caught fish supper leaving a dramatic water display behind, in Aviemore, Scotland. The images were captured by Barry Forbes, 59. He said, “The photographs were captured from a concealed hide just after sunrise.” “As it was still early in the morning, the lighting conditions were poor, making it challenging to capture the action with a high enough shutter speed.” “Ospreys typically hunt during dawn and dusk and require several small fish or one or two large fish daily. Fortunately, I was able to shoot from a low angle, which resulted in some fantastic eye-level shots as the bird flew directly towards me. The eye contact and the water spray added a lot of power and drama to the shots of this magnificent bird.” Please byline: Barry Forbes/Solent News © Barry Forbes/Solent News & Photo Agency UK +44 (0) 2380 458800 *** Local Caption *** Photos were taken July 2023 They were taken in aviemore Scotland.
