A few Birds I have got photos of recently
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.
Now as those that follow me probably now, I have bene perhaps a tad obsessed with getting shots of Osprey, so hoping to one day catch a photo of it flying with a reasonable size fish, and the other day I finally manage to do just that and that's what I will starting the post with, but do not worry this post will not be all photos of Osprey but a mix of birds, but I was so happy to get this shot and another of it I will share later in the post

Now I am no expert on Birds, but I believe this is a Grey Catbird which I saw and got this shot of in Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford.
feel free to correct me if you know it is a different type of bird

Now this next one is I think a Roseate Tern, there are a few of them that I have seen but they fly so fast getting a shot of them is such a challenge, I have taken so many photos where I only have half of it in frame, so happy when I got this shot

And here is the same Osprey complete with the fish which my granddaughter tells me is a Bass, how she knows that from a game she plays on her Nintendo Switch animal crossing

NOw this last photo is one I took this morning ( as I prepare this post), I went to Silvershell beach in Marion to catch the sunrise, and a beautiful sunrise it was, I had a wider angle lens on for the beach shots but as I was taking the sunrise shots I saw many Osprey flying over head, some with fish in their talons, but it was to dark and with a wide lens not possible to get shots of them, so when the sun had risen I switch to by birding lens the 200-600, but most of th Osprey had done their hunting and left back to their nests, but then I saw this on fly by a fair bit away, not a great shot, but I was happy to catch another Osprey with a fish although I have no idea what type of fish it is
