Osprey - Pandion haliaetus
Canon 800mm f5.6 for 1/800th @ iso400
As the summer draws to a close and three chicks have been raised on the remote Scottish Loch the birds prepare for the long flight south to warmer countries.
The juveniles are testing their wings and taking short flights usually downward from the nest.
The adults have raised three chicks and now the youngsters are starting to practice their diving techniques on the Goldeye ducklings - who are sent diving beneath the loch for cover as the young Ospreys practice "dive bombing" them.
