TAKE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY EIGHT f


Wings on Wednesday - 
YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in photographing birds.

Once that twig was settled in place, there appeared to be a bit of conversation.

As I mentioned last week, I believe the upper bird to be the male. Ospreys divide the nesting duties between the pair. The female does most of the incubating, brooding and direct feeding of the young. She guards them throughout the nestling period and will share the hunting at later stages when the chicks are larger. The male, on the other hand, is the major provider of fish for the female and young. 
There appeared to be an appeal from one to the other. In the final pair of images next week, you will see what occurred as a result of that 'discussion'.

  1. Mrs might be giving Mr. a wee piece of her mind....he was either late, caught the wrong fish or maybe she was just worn out and needed to vent.

  5. There is quite a noticeable dimorphism in Ospreys so if you see the two of them together it should be easy to determine the sexes. The female is the bigger of the two,
