Osprey returning to its nest with a fish for its young - happy fledglings!

This osprey is return with a fish to feed its fledglings still in the nest. Notice that the osprey orients the head of the fish forward to make carrying it easier. I wish I had a longer lens to make an even clearer capture. This was about 270mm.
