@Rainmaker1973 What a stunner. And we take the car to the fast-food outlet and think it's too much work.

@Rainmaker1973 That bird has some strength and power, to escape the sea with a big fish in its claws and then to carry the fish away still wriggling, that is some excellent work. An excellent capture by the way.
I sometimes struggle getting out of the bath!

@Rainmaker1973 It is wonderful. What a thrill the way the bird 'correct' its handling until the very end with a proper definitive whole holding with its right foot talons ! That’s poetry !

@Rainmaker1973 I've swam with barracuda and greater barracuda and it definitely gets the blood racing when you encounter one at close proximity in shallow water and see their level of awareness of you.
I've watched Osprey come away with some very large fish in their talons in the Mercer Slough in Bellevue, WA.

@Rainmaker1973 The one that really impresses me though is the Giant Trevally, which I've swam with on several occasions on Aitutaki. They're well known for jumping straight out of the water to catch birds in flight. Sir David captured this feat on video for one of his nature documentaries. Bird eats fish and vice versa.

Amazing video - the strength and power it takes to get out of the water and into the air

To me it looks a little as if the osprey was using the fish like a surfboard.
