Finally, Thanks to Ding who found time, from his busy schedule, to accompany us (JP & Ixi) to this wonderful place right in the heart - La Mesa Dam reservoir.
Never have I seen so many osprey in one location! According to JP it's the ETS of the area.
Unfortunately we were not lucky to get good light early on. My settings were just good for static birds. Contrast was also affected by the smoke coming from the Payatas dumpsite.
Anyway, "it's the journey and the people that were with you that counts most, the resulting photo is just secondary" ;D Thanks for a great morning of boating and birding Ding, Ixi and JP! and of course the boat pilot, Guerrero! We should do it again!!! ;D
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
5DM2 + 600 mm L f4 IS, f4, 1/320 sec, ISO 640, Manual exposure in available light, Hand held, 40.3m distance.
1/250 sec. 40.3m distance

Those are superb shots Neon. The eyes of these raptors are as sharp as your bazooka!
