Still smiling from yesterday's Osprey experience, I managed a couple of flight shots just before she flew North up the coast.

I'm still shaking, I got to see my first Osprey today before it flew North from Whitley Bay this morning.
What an amazing experience and probably a once in a lifetime chance of this photograph.

My windswept Miss Sparrowhawk, it's been a bit blowy up North to say the least!

My trusting Miss Sparrowhawk, she let me get closer to her today in my garden. She just sat there for around ten minutes focussed on the hedge. I'm so honoured, she's beautiful!
