Osprey-tastic!

21/8/10

This Saturday just gone I decided to have a morning check of my local patch the Ythan Estuary. There were quite a few passage waders about, including 80 Golden Plovers, 3 Ruffs, 16 Knot and a single Curlew Sandpiper (unfortunately too far away to photograph). Along with this, at least 3 Ospreys were fishing on the Estuary, with two of the birds coming close, both performing their usual, flamboyant aerial shows. This meant that I managed to practise photographing the species once again, and the results are definitely an improvement from last time, even though in a couple the bird is very high in the photo. See below (images are cropped, as they were of this species last time):



The second bird fancied harrassing the waders on the Estuary...


Unfortunately the Ospreys will be leaving in the next month or so, so I don't have that much more time to photograph them before they leave... However they will of course return, that's the beauty of having them breeding 10 miles from your hometown!

That is that for now, tune in next time for more! Feedback is welcome!

  3. To achieve the regulator-style display, Chronoswiss uses replica watches a base Swiss Made ETA 2895-2 automatic movement with a module it collectively calls its calibre C. 295. replica watches uk The movement operates at 4Hz with 42 hours of power reserve and can be viewed through the sapphire crystal caseback on the rear fake rolex of the watch. The C. 295 movement offers the hours, minutes, and seconds. Other Chronoswiss models fake Rolex can have more features, but the elegance of this time-only design is noteworthy.
    At 12.7mm-thick and 41mm replica rolex in diameter, the case has a roughly 51mm lug-to-lug distance, given their protruding style. Chronoswiss makes a pretty fake watches nice watch with the Regulator Classic, which nods to various important eras in timekeeping history and offers a formal rolex replica watch style without a too-familiar look. Conservative people seeking a design that is nevertheless a bit eccentric are Rolex replica strongly encouraged to consider something like the Regulator Classic — especially since it can fake rolex uk work so well as a daily watch. The easiest complaint to make about the watch is that, while not terribly common, regulator fake watches uk watches are available from other brands (certainly some of which best replica watches sites to buy from are cheaper) and that Chronoswiss — while being a clearly respectable brand – hasn’t built enough of a personality around itself or replica watches uk paypal its particular flavor of regulators.
