Still trying for good shots of the Osprey and also a couple of shots of a Heron

I am still trying to get some shot sof the osprey that I am really happy with, have been to a coupleof spots where they have nests, but to be honest although I think these shots are OK enough to share there not what I want to get so I will keep on trying.

In the meantime here are some recent shots of the Osprey by the Harbor Walk here in New Bedford, and on the day I took these there was a heron nearby as well so including a couple of shots of it.

While I was there one of the Osprey took off for a flight, I didn't have any success getting shots of it in flight, but it was a good learning experience to realize I have to try some different settings when it is flight, including using an even faster shutter speed to freeze it in flight.

But i did catch it as it was about to land back on the nest

And while I was there as I said I spotted a heron, first in a little canal on the other side of the harbor walk and here is a shot of it there.

It did later fly over to the sea front, but I missed that as the Osprey was also flying at the time.

Here is another shot of the Osprey coming in to land on the nest, if I had used an even faster shutter speed I would have got it more clear and without any motion blur
