Sublime and Beautiful Sunday back to the birds

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.
And for this weeks post I am sharing a few shots of Birds, I have been out watching birds and getting photos now and again, but have resisted from doing posts of birds since I had shared so many, but its been a while and the first and last shot in this post I got the other morning which prompted me to prepare and share this post.

I have been swinging by the Osprey nest by the Hurricane barrier wall once or twice a week watching how the young ones are growing as and as you can see in this first photo they have grown quiet a bit

Even managed to catch one of the parents returning with a fish, I am not sure how big they get before they leave the nest I haven't seen the young ones flying yet but I suspect soon they will be.
I could do a whole post with photos of the Osprey but perhaps that would be boring so adding some shots of other birds as well like this tern flying by.
The terns fly by so fast, you really have to be quick to get shots of them in flight, and trust me, for this one OK shot, there was tons of them only part way in shot or flying out of shot.

A common blackbird standing in the grass, now of course birds don't read books or know the names we call them, but if they did would probably not be happy and being called common
