It is not uncommon that we see Osprey migrating over the house.

My wife and I were sitting on the terrace when we heard Osprey calling from the nearby lake.

I quickly grabbed the camera and walked over there. One Osprey took flight and after having gained height it started flying South.

As it passed over the lake I heard another one calling a qickly found this juvenile that was looking for food.

Great action shots of both Raptors.

What a great trio of sightings 

[mvecht]

Today I went to the Southernmost part of Denmark.

A rare bird had been in place for the last 8 days and the site is great for other birds.

Unfortunately the bird tower is quite far from the waters edge, so not a gret spot for photography.

#208 Red-necked Phalarope (juvenile)

This bird is fun to watch a it swims quite fast in small circles .

 

A couple of Hobby`s were quite active but even further away so only an EBC to finish the trio of small Falcons that can be found in Denmark.

#208 Hobby

Great Osprey photos!

Quite a harvest of raptors with very special action shots of the red- footed!

I managed to get a better shot of a Hobby the following day in a different spot.

 

 

The shot of #209 Northern Raven is not very good but great interaction with the Sparrowhawk.

The Canon R7/Tamron 150-600mm combo is struggling in backlit situations

 

#210 Honey Buzzard

Love the expression on the Hobby looking up at the Hoodie.
