I photographed this Osprey as she was drying off on a fallen tree after her morning fishing trip. No guesses as to who was ruffling her feathers! She was certainly giving some bombing seagulls stern warnings to leave her in peace. They eventually got the message and flew off. Perhaps they thought better of messing with her razor sharp beak and those talons!
