Nice Catch!
This morning I was watching an osprey circling above the marsh hunting for breakfast. I saw him dive down a few times and come up empty each time.
Finally, he hit the water and I could tell he got himself a fish. What I didn’t realize at the time was that the osprey had caught two fish!
Normally I stop taking photos as a bird begins to fly away from me, but in this case I’m glad I stuck with it. It’s amazing for me to see an osprey with a pair of fish, one dangling from each talon!






Great shots, Phil. Mr. Osprey must have been so pleased with his twin fishies. I’m sure there are two pairs of frightened eyes, but I won’t zoom in. 😕

He looks like he has a pair of shoes on his feet.
Fish shoes .LOL.

Wonderful sequence of a “double-clawed swoop”. Two in one go is quite some fishing… RH

Amazing! I have never seen a bird caught two fishes in one haul.

Great catch by the osprey. Unfortunately, I have to rely on a rod and reel. 🙂
Sorry not to have visited for awhile. Have been on the summer horse show tour with my daughters. They ride the hunter/jumper circuit. Not quite professional yet, but close. Another week at home, then we’re off for the next trio of shows.
