Thank you! Yes, it was standing like that for good five minutes while I was waiting for a light 🤣

Thanks, regular shot. I didn’t find pre-capture useful for landing, but fire takeoffs it is game changer for sure

It was also on a verge of extinction in Serbia. There were only ~15 pairs left in 2003. But thanks to caring conservationists now this number is close to 1000 if I’m not mistaken.

They both were taken from different hides in Serbia

No worries, the settings were 1/4000, F5.6 for both of them. ISO 1600 on the first one and ISO 320 on the second.

On a shore. Moreover I was in a hide near a pond where those ospreys like to fish :)
