Is this the correct size for the forum, or should it be smaller?

It looks distorted on the forum here Mike, I post using a link to Flickr's medium size image, that looks OK so far.

A superb photo

I'm viewing it on my laptop and it doesn't look distorted

Must be because I'm viewing it on a phone, but the medium sized Flickr pictures don't look distorted on a phone or haven't for me.

Weirdly if I tap the image it resizes it to the correct aspect ratio.

Size isn't important (as I'm often reassured)! What is it? Osprey, or a close relative?

The bird is an osprey. They are much more common in Florida than they are in Scotland. We saw 7 of them within about 200 metres.

There is usually a pair at Loch Garten and another at Loch of the Lowes. There are more across Scotland. We saw one last year just a mile or two from home, hovering over the river. In Florida, we have probably seen well over 100 ospreys (not all at the same time).
