Are you actually attacking or just having fun?
Ospreys frequently perch on this
walnut tree that is growing in the riverbed.
It seems to be a habitual practice
to catch a fish, such as a mullet.
Even though there was a strong west
wind blowing this morning, I saw an osprey perched on the usual tree. I
immediately set up my camera and was focusing on the osprey when suddenly a
bird of prey attacked it.
It happened in a moment and
finished.
The distance to the target is 146 meters.
JBF was held from November 4th to 5th this year.

The Siberian rubythroat breeds in the People's Republic of China, Russia, and Hokkaido in Japan during the summer. (Cited from Wikipedia.)
And in the winter, it migrates south to Southeast Asia to overwinter.During the migration of birds, they fly south of Honshu in Japan.
The lifespan of both wild birds was eight years from the time they were released to the time they were recovered, as per research materials from the Yamashina Ornithological Research Institute in Abiko City.（List of survival periods by species obtained from bird banding surveys: Top two records from 1961 to 2017.）
I couldn't take their photo last year because they left before I could, but this year I was able to capture a male and female on my camera.It's a real struggle to find this wild bird.
There is a saying that the best thing to have is a friend. I always learn a lot from this friend about birding technology. I can think...
