Sublime and Beautiful Sunday the birds

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

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

Well done @tattoodjay and I'm always cursing myself for not having my camera ready as I watch osprey most mornings fishing, we're lucky they really inhabit our little bit of seaside here, so they have flown within feet of the big main windows looking onto the sea. We always talk of setting up a gogro or something just to let it run and catch all the action. I'm always impressed with the size fish they catch! and love how they hold them sideways, like a banner, to stop wind resistance. Amazing hunters.

Yes that IS a catbird, I love them, we've those as well and they are so amusing at copying all the birds songs, but their own song is funny and very like a cat Screeching (thus their name) I've watched them go through a series of bird song, one right after the other. Happy #SublimeSunday

It was the sounds that the catbirds make that gave me a clue to what type they are
Thanks it’s taken many many trips to catch the Osprey with a fish so super happy with those shots

Have a great day

Great osprey with fish photos! I like the details on the fish in the second shot. Amazing how they catch and carry such big fish.

Ohh yeah they are amazing to watch
Thanks and have a great day

Hello sir @tattoodjay
Everyone who has a big camera in hand has always been obsessed with the osprey bird that flies with the big fish at its feet. It's an obsession with achieving the best, even those who are pro in camera and you actually did it today.
Weldone Sir.

I still remember your original post a while back, and it hasn't been that long since you've had a big camera. You only get photos of osprey landing in their nest on a pole and it turns out you are very quick to learn and adapt to your big camera.

You are one step away, should be called a pro.
Have a nice day

Thanks that is such kind of you to say and truly appreciated

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

That is a video game series I have not tried so far, but looks like it is worth playing, because it has educational content.

I heard that some people put hundreds of hours into one episode of this video game series, so I can imagine that the players are learning things, which are useful/helpful in real life.

I played the game for a little while it is a fun game but I don’t play games much

good timing, the bird with the fish is just impressive

Thanks
Took many hours of bird watching to get the Osprey 😎

That is such a great capture!. You have got to be happy, a most coveted shot when seeking out osprey. I think birding is one of those skills that grows over time, as one becomes familiar with habits, fishing and nesting spots and everything else. Creatures of habit.

I think it is a shot to be proud of, just as you probably were when you captured it!

Enjoyed your photos! They are all fabulous! Good morning!

@tipu curate

Thanks so much and yes I was proud or thrilled to get these shots all the many visits to spots with Osprey were worth it

But now I have the birding bug and will keep at it now and again

I knew it was only a matter of time and them finding you!

Im excited for you. It will be a new challenge!

And I do love a challenge 😎

Your photography is incredible!

Thanks it’s a hobby I have fun with

Amazing @tattoo-djay. I am always surprised by your picture. Those your Picture makes me flutter with their beauty.

Thanks that’s so kind if you to say

Wow what a great photography. You always show quality pictures, I'm touched by your work

Thanks kindly

Wow what a great photography. You always show quality pictures, I'm touched by your work

Really great selection of shots. The Osprey carrying the fish is really neat, I had some similar shots a couple of years back but couldn't get quite as close. Nicely done.

Thanks I have been visiting spots where the Osprey are for a few weeks now trying for those shots

What more can I say than WOW? These are all awesome images to me, love them all 😊

The Osprey with the big fish is the top photo, of course, although I also love the photo of the Grey Catbird 👏

Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday, my friend 🌞

amazing buddy. Greetings

thank you

The bird can fly fish, meaning that the bird is one of the pests for fish farming farmers. These are very beautiful pictures and I really like these pictures

Ohh yes fish farmers must hate birds of prey like that one for sure

Yes friend, thank you.

nice zoom lens you got there. Would like to see the craters on the moon !

Thanks, I must do some moon shots soon :)

Excellent catch for you and excellent catch for the bird bringing home the meal.

Thanks so much

You're welcome.

What an amazing shot friend, especially the one, the bird carrying the fish is so perfect click. I also have the same Sony camera and I will try to click some shots like yours.

Thanks a much I was so happy to catch the Osprey with the fish

I do love my Sony which model so you have

I have Sony A6300, I mostly use it for wide angle shots.

Its a great camera, I have one of those as a backup camera :)

That’s great, I will learn some tricks from you for sure.

its all about getting out with it and having fun, but if you ever have any questions feel free to ask :)

Thanks a lot, I will ask you for sure. Thanks for your availability 💕

MOst welcome

Cheers
