Great sequence and that's one heck of a fish no wonder the gull wants it

Thank you very much, DR. Much appreciated!

I have a couple of hundred shots of the gull harassing this Osprey. He was very persitent!

Stellar sequence Lance - the fish looks like a Luderick so I am guessing somewhere on the NSW coast?

Thank you very much, Syllog. Much appreciated!

It most certainly is a Luderick and well spotted. It was off Long Reef in Sydney.

Great set of shots! Man, gulls sometimes seem to have no fear when it comes to grabbing some food.

In the chase scenes, the osprey's head is so sharp it is simply amazing! Well done! In #1, the osprey is on his version of a magic carpet!

Super Skippy!! Nailed a real nice series

 

[John 2]

That is a great series. The last one in particular is a stellar portrait of the bird.

Thank you very much, Karen. Much appreciated!

#1 certainly does look like the Osprey is on a sort of magic carpet ride!

Great shots, Lance. I especially like your inclusion of the last shot in the series, as it tells, "The rest of the story."

 

[Mark Garfinkel]

Very cool

Nice set, Lance. Poor ospreys. Everyone tries to rob them.

Great action sequence Lance, where off Sydney was this?
Looks like a Luderick (Blackfish), we used to call them by another name that's not kosher anymore.

 

[Tutti frutti]

Unforgettable chase. Well done for capturing it so nicely
