Why?

Osprey is a smaller raptor compares to WBSE. The lack of a broad black band through eye to nape as shown clearly in this photo suggests it is NOT an Osprey. Furthermore, WBSE soars with wings held in a shallow V-shape!!! ;D ::) ;D

Just to back KK up, this is undoubtedly a WBSE and not an Osprey. Wingshape, body shape and several plumage features make that quite clear.

Perhaps a "poor quality shot" by your exceptionally high standards, KK, but still a very useful one.

I insisted that it is a Osprey :P because its long norrow wings are bent back at the wrist, like gull's.We can also see the necklace clearly.  ;D :D ;D

There is no doubt in my mind that it was a WBSE!

Well said Sam,

I think we all owe "Hui Sir" and all the other excellent bird photographers a vote of thanks.

It certainly makes learning bird identification a lot easier to be able to see excellent telephoto shots and as well through the photographers artistry we are able to admire how beatiful nature really is.

Kung Hei Fat Choi to all the Photographers as well as to all Birders

Thank you so much Sam and Bob for your kind words!

Much I appreciated your support, my heart soared when I read your messages above. As I said in the other thread, birding and photography are really inseparable. It just happens that I’m more on the photography side and still a lot to learn from experienced birders on bird identification as a whole ... :)

Look forward to seeing more great images in this Forum.
