Sublime and Beautiful Sunday back to the birds

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.
And for this weeks post I am sharing a few shots of Birds, I have been out watching birds and getting photos now and again, but have resisted from doing posts of birds since I had shared so many, but its been a while and the first and last shot in this post I got the other morning which prompted me to prepare and share this post.

I have been swinging by the Osprey nest by the Hurricane barrier wall once or twice a week watching how the young ones are growing as and as you can see in this first photo they have grown quiet a bit

Even managed to catch one of the parents returning with a fish, I am not sure how big they get before they leave the nest I haven't seen the young ones flying yet but I suspect soon they will be.
I could do a whole post with photos of the Osprey but perhaps that would be boring so adding some shots of other birds as well like this tern flying by.
The terns fly by so fast, you really have to be quick to get shots of them in flight, and trust me, for this one OK shot, there was tons of them only part way in shot or flying out of shot.

I do believe this is a Blue Heron

A common blackbird standing in the grass, now of course birds don't read books or know the names we call them, but if they did would probably not be happy and being called common

and Osprey flying by in the early morning Golden light

All images are great, JJ, and I love the Osprey in golden light most today 😊

The young Ospreys don't look much smaller than their parents anymore. I also think they are gonna try to fly soon and hopefully you can see them on their first flights, and maybe take some photos too.

I have sometimes seen little birds trying to fly and it was lovely how they jump and with each try they get better and better ... and their parents were always near 😀

the first picture is really impressive, to get a picture like that seems to require god level patience,
why do i say that....
because it is not easy to get like the picture you show above,, regarding a fish brought home by a mother, it looks like the chick has started to grow up, maybe as you said in the last few days he will fly away from the nest..

[tattoodjay]

Thanks so much
Yea indeed it is not easy takes some patience and many visits to this spot

They are all beautiful shots but the first one is a real money shot. I would hang that one on my wall. You're privileged to get a glimpse of that.

[tattoodjay]

Thanks I was truly lucky to get that first shot

Cheers

[steven-patrick]

Great shots of the ospreys. I for one could live with an only osprey post haha I like the gold background you captured. Nice bird shots all 👍

[nickydee]

Oh, I was waiting to see a Sublime song but just realized you weren't talking about the band. Very serene shots and being a bird, myself, I appreciate the shout out to my homies.

[fotomaglys]

@tattoodjay Beautiful place, I have loved your photos, a fabulous tour that day that was a gift

[sebzie123]

Its always great to see nature in its original form and going on as it should be. Thank you for taking off your time and capture those great photos of mother nature.

[ace108]

The young ones look big enough already.

[tattoodjay]

Yes I think I saw them flying this morning

[ace108]

That's good news.

[denmariehive]

[tattoodjay]

Not a professional but perhaps a serious amateur
