you are pure idiot. U claim that dinosaurs were the ancestors with no evidence. You are also pure evil
@@j919or dinosaurs are ancestors of all birds . According to available findings till date
@@paan35007 According to current fantasy. Suddenly there were a couple of wings, and a dinosaur decided to try to fly. Yea right.
How is it that the footage in this video looks better than the Sony A1?

"the osprey, unfazed by the bite, takes this lizard fish for a nice aerial view of its prior home before disappearing to eat its hearty catch"- wonderful narration weaved seamlessly into a first class presentation of the osprey. Well done!
Thank you!
I agree!
Not only a brilliant photographer but also a great story teller Thanks, Mark!
Thanks
This is my first osprey-video ever. Yet somehow is exactly how I though it would be with those birds. Thanks for great shots and the stories.
We have a house on the Corpus Christi Bay we get to watch this bird everyday from the back porch what a honor what an amazing sight.
One of the best wildlife videos that I seen in a long,long time.
Thanks
You must be one of the best bird photographers in the world. Your work is extraordinary.
Thanks
The osprey is an amazing bird and your images are incredible.
Very brave Bird
I could watch hours of your content. Your photos are breath taking & your commentary is engrossing. What an amazing bird & huge respect to you.
Thanks
I like how you narrated this piece. Stumbled on this as I like nature docs, well done man.
How humans are degrading themselves: how are those stuff on the arms? Disgusting.
5:14 - I've never heard a narrator's story so vividly illustrated that I do not see a huge difference between the photos and a real film. Just a masterpiece of brilliant bird storytelling.
The Osprey is now reintroduced in Scotland after years of disappearing. Some were found in one or two lochs and is now breeding very well according to Scottish bird agency.
And we are so glad to have them. Check out the Loch Arkaig webcam.
Good to hear. We in upstate New York are glad to report ospreys are common and Bald Eagles . I watched an osprey grab a pike this summer. It was too big to lift, so the bird paddled with its wings to shore, dragging the fish all the way.
The osprey was never reintroduced in Scotland, it recolonised naturally.
Awesome
What happened? Were they hunted ?
The Osprey is my favorite bird. I was working in Burbank California. There was city for at least 15 miles in every direction. To my suprise, on top of a telephone pole was an Osprey. We were working next to the concrete lined Los Angeles River. A small stretch of river where we were has a natural gravel and rock bottom. This Osprey was living in the city fishing in the Los Angeles River. I've seen plenty of Osprey in Montana where I go every year to fish. This was the first and only one I've seen in Los Angeles. I love your picturs, thank you.
Dude you are one awesome story teller. Awesome pictures!!!
Your photography and narrative is great! I myself take photos of ducks and birds of prey, and have real respect of your talent!
I was just thinking that!!!
Simply astounding! I don't know which is more riveting, the photography or the narrative!
Thanks
Absolutely no doubt one of my favorite birds of prey behind a bald eagle or red tail hawk. The nests that they make are just mind-boggling
3:30 your relationship to the dive, the symmetry of the dive, and the stage of the dive make this shot one of the best to me.
Amazing video and thank you for sharing. Photographed my share of ospreys many times and it is always an incredible experience to say the least. I am still yet to catch one grabbing the fish out of the water, but in all do time. Great video and information Mark.
Great video and narration. I am myself a photographer and my favorite bird is the osprey, so I really understand your joy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Thank you for not only taking the photos but giving us the real story behind the bird. What a truly intelligent designed bird.
Two things captivate me when kayak fishing, Osprey hunting and Bald Eagle vocalization. I can watch an Osprey hunt for hours. They will fly over us only after catching a fish, almost like they are showing off their kill. They are amazing creatures.
Slightly obsessed with Osprey? Are ya now?
Well, Good for you! And... Good for us too! The time and energy that you spent, not to mention the money, in getting all of these highly prized photographs... And then sharing all of it with us is a testament of passion.
Your passion for Osprey, coupled with your "unbridled determination," to piece together this magnificent compilation the way you did, along with the detailed narration is greatly admired, and gratefully appreciated.
Thank you Mark Smith.
👍
As an amateur photographer who has visited the Space Coast, great job on production of the Osprey Story and magnificent shots. I especially like your addition of settings with images for us who try to replicate your work. For anybody wondering if travel to Mark's Workshop, My answer is a definitive yes. Not only is he there to tutor and guide but the area is second to none for the birds and species. Thanks for your efforts in sharing Mark.
Thanks
Growing up, the Osprey was my favorite bird. Thanks for sharing your amazing photography and narration about one of nature's most skilled hunters.
I didn’t even mean to click play, but once it started I got hooked. Incredible photos but equally excellent storytelling!
An AMAZING talent of this photographer is nearly matching osprey’s fishing prowess. Gorgeous footage. Thank you, Mark for this breath taking video!
All I can say is WOW, your story telling and your captures are some the best I ever seen. Is like watching National Geography.
Thanks
Beautiful Bird of Prey!
I admire your artistry &
the appreciation of the hunt & challenges this bird faces,
Nice narration without over indulgence.
Thanks
I never get tired of watching your videos of Osprey, you captured some amazing shots. I can easily see why you like them so much. Great video.
Thanks!
I live on a canal in Gulf Shores , Al. Recently an Osprey has been hanging around in the tall pines. I desperately hope to see him in action, so far no dice! Your photography and narration are awesome. Thanks for sharing your talents
Thanks
The amount of time and patience you have spent to shoot these pics and videos are amazing... Great work. Love to see more fro your channel.
Amazing! - Each catch a unique accomplishment. I've seen an osprey screaming at his parents circling above. It was dusk, he looked down at the river, smack! He came up with a fish and circled around and around with everyone cheering! He was so proud of his first catch.
Your work is off the charts
So good........ So good
My wife and I have been watching a live stream from Scotland where a breeding pair of Osprey laid 3 eggs. The live stream is doing a wonderful job of educating us with how these birds live. I have just watched your video, and I am truly impressed with your workmanship and dedication, well done. Back to our nest and we have 3 weeks before the chicks fledge, we are waiting in excitement for that day to come.
As a true Osprey enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Keep them coming!
Your story telling is like a poem/narration of a movie and I am in awe because it’s what keeps me enthralled. I’m a new fan of yours
Man, your narrative is just as good as your photography. I wouldn’t be able to say more than ten words about the birds’ actions. Great job!
I love to try capturing these birds in flight and fishing but I have never come close to the incredible photos that you showed here. Your narration is just great and keeps a person's total attention. Fantastic images and interesting narration! Thanks for sharing these awesome images!
A brilliant osprey a brilliant photography.
Even in high tech era human unable to copy animals brilliant.
Dear Mark, your video is absolutely brilliant! You are awesome ...gifted by God to make happy the hearts of people who love prey birds...Thanks a lot and Congratulations!💖💝💜💕❤💓
Thanks
I know these were taken over some time, but that is an amazing collection of images. But I think the most unique is the one with the bird and the lure. Unbelievable! Great commentary as always Mark.
Very few can appreciate this exceptional work of art, the filming takes more than we can ever thought ..
Only you can appreciate your work more than anyone else
Great photography! Thanks! Here's an Osprey story for you. Many years ago in the Florida Keys, several sailboats were built at "the House of Goats and Boats." One resident named his sloop the Osprey. When it came time to step on the mast, a big party was gathered at a local harbor to help assist him. As soon as Bill hanked on the sails and the boat came to life, we heard a bird shriek above and looked up just as an Osprey landed on the top of the mast! As the flotilla of sailboats set course for the Florida Bay, the Osprey took to flight with another shriek and led us sailors to open water, flying just ahead in the lead. It was a magic time.
That's pure magic. Awesome thanks for sharing
WOW 😯❤! what an amazing work you`ve done! ...I met the Osprey this summer in Sanible Island for vacation. I was absolutely captivated by this amazing Bird, and had a chance to see him rise up form the ocean next to me in the water with a fish in his claws. I found very interesting that this bird could stay hours fix on the top of a tree and do nothing too. Would love to meet them again...I'm from Chile .
I think you have a wonderful life , enjoy as we learn to appreciate wildlife, thank you.
My new favorite bird. Can't beat that air/water/hunting combination!
Spectacular photography with excellent story telling. You get it done Mark!
Thanks
I live along the Columbia River in Wenatchee Washington and have observed this a few times. It makes me smile all day long when I spend time watching them. We have nests up and down the river.
From Australia congratulations on a great presentation - Well captured Mark
So very cool! My grandson and I watched some ospreys fishing today on Chautauqua Lake in NY so I was looking for some RUclips videos and yours popped up....we have really enjoyed the beautiful photographs that you captured! They are amazing birds! Thank you!
That was awesome man. I watch osprey off the coast of Maryland all summer. They're m master assassins. I'm in Southwest FL currently and they are everywhere here! Always that distinguishable whistle chirp above somewhere.
My backyard is a small lake and I always marvel at the sight of Osprey fishing. Although not always successful, it is amazing the power this bird has to be able to lift itself and its prey from the water. Great video!
Agreed. They are amazing birds.
NO way could I pick a favorite shot!! ALL are fantastic. Also superb is your editing and commentary!! I really enjoyed every second of this video.. GREAT work!! Thank you for all your skills and working them.
Mark Smith…you unfold the sheer beauty of nature in every video❤
WELL There you go Osprey a wonderful 📷🤳pictorial of them catching fish 👍quite enjoyed this , eyes wide open😳
Awesome pictures! Beautiful birds, great narration and great work! I like the last picture the most. Thank you for sharing your passion with us all. God bless you always!
Superb photography and narration...I am now so proud of the Osprey, being from Colorado we sport a nice handful of raptors and I spent 5 years of my life in complete awe of the raptors of Colorado as a Falconer...great video, there was one shot behind the Osprey that blew my mind...8:06. I wish you all the best..I got to see more!
Every photograph is brilliantly taken👍Awesome photography👌well done😻🐈
Thanks for the time and effort in filming these Osprey.
Really nice work. I am studying bird flight, particularly, their wing formation in flight. You work is beautiful and outstanding. Might I say your photos show the same determination as the bird you photograph. Great job. Nice camera work.
Thanks
There are osprey in Michigan. Good to see they are plentiful. Your pictures are incredible. Thanks for making this video.
It would be better if they were plentiful somewhere else. Oh how i hate these birds!
@KAHANU ERMEYAS-TULU I hate them because they eat too many fish out of my 2 acre lake. They eat $10.00 per day of stocked trout per bird.
I came here thinking ospreys looked silly. I leave in complete awe and amazement at this incredible creation I now realize the osprey is. Thank you!
My favorite images were actually the videos where you can see the osprey hovering and searching the waters below. You don't get to see that so often, and it gives you an idea how much energy they expend fishing. Second favorite was the pompano episode! Wonderful photos and videos of my favorite bird too! Thanks -
This is some of the best photography I've ever seen. Up here in Montana there is clear blue lake where Osprey and Bald Eagles do all this every day and I love watching them. You can see the aqua blue refection under their wings and their flying fish.
Found you via RUclips Creators Hub Podcast. Really, really well done. Any bird photography I’ve ever done has been unplanned and accidental. I have lots of respect for those who do it well. Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips.
Thanks!!
Oh, I also love your enthusiasm, the way you weave the story, & your deep respect for Osprey.
Outstanding photography. Outstanding narrating. I really enjoyed your work, thank you. You're great at what you do.
Everything about this video is awesome. Video, stills, production and commentary, all stellar! Thanks for this.
wow what an awesome video! Thank you so much Mark Smith for sharing your video and photography artwork and really cool narration!
Happy to see an individual displaying his great, original work. Well done!
Awesome captures Mark! and great story telling :) Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
Overlooking the lake from my deck watching a couple of osprey fish for their families in nests 400 yards away. Searched the Internet for closer imagery and stumbled onto your wonderful video and engaging descriptions. Among the best nature videos I've seen.
Just found this site and am totally impressed! Great Great photo's. I too love the Osprey's. But then, I'm a falconer and I love ALL species of birds of prey! Keep up the great work!
saw my first osprey at cape cod Massachusetts near the ocean. Didn’t get good pictures but it was better than nothing. I love birds, thanks for this video it was amazing... never knew how badass the osprey was!
Holy shit...that photo of the bass is absolutely incredible!!!
Without a doubt, one of the best videos and photos of the Osprey I have ever seen. Superb photography!
Wow! How ist it possible to take such amazing pictures?
Absolutely fantastic in an Incredible sharpness. Congratulations! Also for the explications of the pictures!
*Masterful photography + Eloquent narration* 👏 👏
You are such an amazing story teller and a great photographer!!!
Hats off to your talent!!
I stumbled across this video and sat mesmerized with (literal) tears in my eyes at how beautiful these phots are and how awesome it must have felt when you reviewed the photos from each excursion. Great job doesn’t even begin to express the Kudos you deserve.
What amazing images all put together into what must be one of your best videos. Thank you for sharing your image and your passion.
OMG I am already in love with just the narration on the videos! let alone the actual photography work
Thanks!
As a fly fisherman in the Rockies, I love and am in awe of Osprey. Seeing them fish is always a welcome distraction - they are undeniably better fishers than me. Though we compete for the same fish, I release my catch; osprey cannot afford that indulgence.
Truly superb. Probably the best portfolio of Ospreys I've ever seen. Congrats and well done!
Great shots.. By far my favorite is the focused head on straight down dive at 11:00 min.
Amazing video and shots. Great to watch and very educational at the same time. I only had a few encounters with Osprey and the nest was way too far from where they hunt, so no Osprey with fish for me, but did get some nice shots of Ospreys. Thanks for sharing your work.
I really like the story you told! And I love your awesome photos! Congratulations!
Very impressive shots! They are amazing creatures!
Beautiful birds and simply great photography!!
Blimey. Ospreys, eagles, sharks and alligators - what a day that must have been for you Mark! Keep the photos and story telling coming, this is one of the very best wildlife photography channels on YT.
As a an serious hobby photographer, I can appreciate some of those high speed shots which are nothing short of spectacular! I use the D810 so I know you have put some blood sweat and tears as well as cash into your craft. A job well done!
I am a new subscriber from the UK. I live in London miles away from ospreys but I had the joy of seeing the Arkaig and Loch of the Lowes osprey family last year and since then they're my favourite raptor. I've never seen them before. Looking at the live cam at Loch Arkaig is just great. I didn't see any in flight over water so I was glad to be able to watch your wonderful footage and enjoy your narration. The osprey, like all raptors are under protection here in the UK and they have made an amazing comeback after having been hunted to extinction in the last century here. Since 1970s their numbers have increased.
Now I look forward to more videos from you. Thank you.
Thanks Mark. Enjoyed your amazing captures of this incredible bird.
Just saw this film today and I was absolutely blown away by the photography here - Mark, you must have so much patience and skill as these shots are truly astounding.
Rarely have I seen imagery that is so utterly compelling and beautiful at the same time. Truly magnificent.
That's some of the best Osprey video and photo I've ever seen. Great work.
Thanks!
You are the absolute meistro of osprey photography and storytelling. Congratulations! WOW!
Thank you! Beautiful shots and footage. It’s amazing what can be discovered through photography. Your passion shines through!
Right, there was one shot behind the Osprey that blew my mind...8:06.
Outstanding photography but much more. Your narration tells a story and brings the pictures to life. Your passion and enthusiasm is plain the see and those photos - stunning.
Ok, so it's a tie. Mark's monologs are every bit as good as his photographic moment in time records of the epic arial battle of survival of the fittest. ~ your neighbor.
I’ve been watching osprey in Wales & Scotland for about 8 years……magnificent birds!!🇬🇧🌻🇬🇧
