Incredible video: The Osprey
This is truly an incredible video - hard to believe this Osprey got 5-6 fish at a time and then got a flounder under 3 feet of water and made off with what looks to be a 2kg+ steelhead.
Have you ever seen a bird shake water off like a dog does?
Wouldn't want to get in its way when its eyes are locked onto you and his talons in the "load" position! The strength of its grip is amazing!
There are 3 sequences in this one video:
1st sequence - catches half a dozen fish in one strike.
2nd sequence - plunges into deep water to grab the prey.
3rd sequence - captures a steelhead salmon that looks as if it weighs more than he does! (see how he is struggling to get it out of the water)
This is incredible to watch!

Utterly fascinating! The strength of those wings, and to watch the feet come down like a landing gear, and open up like a bomb bay dropping its load, only to pick up a load.
Yes, that salmon looked about the same weight.
Great video, Elwood :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Fascinating the way he held the salmon face into the wind for aerodynamics.
