About A magical moment for a friend of mine, whilst kayaking down the Mulgrave River, near Cairns, we came across an Osprey perched on the riverbank. Mike paddled over to it as I grabbed for the camera, and as he pulled up alongside it, much to our surprise it jumped up onto the front of his kayak. Sadly, as those with a keen eye may notice, the bird was suffering some sort of injury to it's right eye. But we were lucky enough to have a few moments with this majestic creature before it upped and flew away.

Thanks Phil, was just one of those memorable moments that I was very glad to have my camera on hand.

As for my latest photo, well, being a photographer is all about taking risks, isn't it?

Cheers mate.

PS You've got more intestinal fortitude than I have to display your latest image! Good on you!

Yeah, 'magical' seems about right, Winston.
Nice catch of a moment long remembered.

Oh yes I see it now. Nature has it's harsh side too doesn't it but it appears the bird seems to be a pretty good one eyed pilot. Perhaps it's his lack of depth perception which inadvertantly had him land on the kayak. A very rare and great moment indeed well captured.

Cheers - Ann :)

Thanks Ann. Not sure if it was old or simply ill/wounded. We were happy to have seen it sitting on the riverbank, but completely awestruck when it jumped up onto the kayak. Have attached a crop from another shot that shows the eye problem in question.

WOW what a great and rare moment captured here. IS it an old bird resting to have landed so close to you? I can't see a problem with his eye apart from one being a slightly different colour but my eyes aren't that keen either. I'm glad he was OK to fly though. Thanks for sharing that. A super candid shot.

Cheers - Ann :)
