Sublime and Beautiful Sunday

For this weeks post to these challenges I am back to birds again, and one particular bird in fact, after having some luck with catching image sof an Osprey catching a fish which I included in last Sundays post, I havent finished with getting shots of birds in general and Osprey in particular, my next goal was to try and catch an Osprey as it dived down, caught a fish and then took off to flight from the water, and this post is a series of shots where I almost did this
I did not catch the dive, but the sequence starts as the osprey is coming out of the water

Now there is a funny story to these photos, one day I went back to Silvershell beach in Marion early to catch the sunrise, as as I was taking photos of the sunrise, I saw a whole bunch of Osprey, probably between 10 and 15 of them, and they were having great success catching fish and I saw a few fly overhead with fish in their talons, but i had a wide angle lens on for the sunrise shots, after the sunrise I switched to my big lens, but it seemed the Osprey had done enough fishing for the day and I only saw them way off in the distance at that time.
So a couple of days later, or possibly even the next day I headed back there, with a plan to catch some early blue hour images then switch to my big lenses and try to get some shots of the Osprey diving for fish, so well before the sun rose I switched to my big lens, but all the Osprey I could see that morning were well off in the distance, and only a couple of them, which was a little frustrating, but then this one flew by towards me and then dived for the fish which lead to this sequence of images
here it is coming out of the water

This next one is the same image but I cropped in closer so you may see the drops of water coming off the fish ( you may need to click on the click to view larger to see it better)
