Osprey siting in Kent UK

An osprey appeared in Hythe, Kent on the royal military canal in September 2005.
The bird was probably on migration to Africa.

Fortunately it was very approachable and after 3 days of watching it catch fish I managed to get a series of shots. This one ended up on the front page of Kent on Sunday newspaper.

The picture was taken with a Canon 1D mk II
and 100-400 IS lens. 1250 iso, 1/250th sec at f5.6.
