I think it may be a young/juvenile bald eagle?
Thanks,
Wendy

Thanks Sylvia, that was my first thought but I looked and the head and beak and wondered?
I appreciate the reply.
Where in Yorkshire are you? My husbands part of the world.
Again thank you,
Wendy

Outstanding Capture of this Osprey. Super sharp and great color and composition.

Both pics are slightly soft, NOT super sharp (lets be honest, please) but what gets me is the strange whitish halo around the backside of the second one. What kind of PP was done here?

It is definitely an Osprey. The picture is almost the same as in the national geographic society field guide to birds. Immature bald eagles do not have white heads.
