Re: Finding my feet once again

Dear community

This picture I've been trying to upload since I made my first appearance here on sane

I've loved water since I was a child

As the saying goes , you can lead a horse to water

How to show horse how to drink

This bird of pray is a friend of mine

We hang out at the beach sometimes

Where I fish , he sits over in the tree line away from me .

And scans the surrounding area looking and searching for his next meal .

On this day I just happened to have some live mullet .

He had been waiting and watching me for over an hour .

I thought while the fish in the water weren't bitting .

I'd say hello to my friend by giving him a live fish .

To take back to his nest , where his new offspring where waiting in anticipation of there next meal .

So , I sounded a bird of pray call to get his attention .

And then shown him the live fish I had in my hand , to get his complete attention .

And gently place the fish up on the sand

He took flight from the tree line , circled twice , and then swooped down to grab the bait fish .

And at that moment I captured my friend doing what natural birds of pray do .

As he looked back in flight to say thank you

And returned back to the nesting tree where his offspring were waiting .

The thing was , I was there clearing my head and having time out .

I did not expect a moment like this to happen .

As all my natural encounters with wildlife are just generally observations , never to entice .

On this day , it help me capture this moment .

Of a swooping bird of pray enticed by a bait fish .

Just another story and moment frozen in time .
