Breakfasting Osprey sees off cheeky Black Kites

Osprey's breakfasting turns to alarm as pair of Black Kites swoop in looking to steal the catch at Town Common Conservation Park this morning.

So, fly over to nearby nest and drop fish off with partner.

Then, rise to see off cheeky kites. One or two close dives enough to see them off. Don't know if fish was returned. Likely not, sharing being a sometime thing with the Osprey pair.

Canon R5 eye capture focus doing job better than my hand-arm tracking. 

And dying grass way off in background brought bonus bokeh.
