Incoming .....!

Talk about lucky timing! After a late night I was really looking forward to a sleep in yesterday morning, but about 6am I had a call from P who on his regular early morning walk had spotted one of the Australasian Osprey that have been nesting in the communication tower along Hillarys Beach. I seriously considered rolling over and going back to sleep, but knowing it may be my last chance for a while I threw on some shorts, grabbed my camera and drove down to the beach. I couldn't believe my luck just as I set up the tripod, the male Osprey, landed, shook out his his plumage, turned and looked down at me as if to say 'did you get all that' and then promptly lost interest..I don't blame him I wasn't looking my best haha! I'm still not happy, but to be fair I was shooting straight into the early morning sun and I was half asleep..as a former Californian Governor once said.."I'll be back"!..I hope your week is going well as we hurtle towards the New Year, take care and stay safe. p.s. take a look at those talons.....!
