    Quite simply the best series of wildlife interactions I've ever seen captured.

    Must have been quite a thrill to have witnessed AND caught.

    Great series of shots. Crisp, sharp, excellent.

    That osprey got off easy, it could have been seriously injured or killed by the egret.

    Egrets routinely drive their beak right through fish that are far tougher and denser than that osprey. That was just a love tap on the osprey's head.
