What made this so special was we were able to observe these magnificent birds from the dinghy with the motor off and just drifting next to the mangrove key that they had the aerie nestled in. We only spent a half an hour or so watching the pair, but their actions yielded hundreds of spectacular photos of the two. It is so rewarding to be able to take home such a great bunch of photos of such unusual and regal creatures.
Just a couple of sips from the flask of good Plantation Guyana Rum as we drifted by the pair. This just made the relaxation and enjoyment of the afternoon more complete. It is, in a way like being lost at sea without a care in the world, drifting in and out of the mangroves silently, photographing the birds and the scenery without leaving even a footprint in the sands. Making it even better the fact that there was no one else around to bother us or to scare the birds as they went about their business of fishing and keeping the eggs warm in the aerie.
Here are a few other pictures of the Ospreys and a Kingfisher that kept us company during the drifting through the area. ;o)
