Di Lymbury, A Fishy Tale (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

An Osprey dived in and caught a fish but was not able to fly with it as it was too big for it to lift out of the water. It carried it to an exposed rock in the middle of the river and struggled to drag it onto the rock where it sat proudly, momentarily, deciding what to do. It tried unsuccessfully numerous times to lift it and eventually let the fish drop as it took off. The fish lay on the rocks as the osprey circled around but the incoming tide washed the large fish back into the water before the Osprey returned . It was not this little Osprey's day.
