Osprey catches a fish

Wader counts from the high tide roost at Passage House included 14 Greenshank, six Bar-tailed Godwits, four Black-tailed Godwits, two Common Sandpipers and 81 Curlew.

At 14:25, all the gulls and waders flushed and a glance up revealed an Osprey overhead, seemingly having just flown in from the west. It circled around for a couple of minutes before diving down and catching a fish in the shallow water just off the bottom of Hackney Lane. It then flew off down estuary and up towards the hills to the north, presumably to find a quiet perch to enjoy its meal away from crows and gulls.

    The osprey is such an agile fisher. I usually admire the diving; it’s so quick and perfect. I think the skills of an osprey can be used in survival fishing on shallow waters. If I can dive with a sharp stick, then I should be able to catch a trophy, regardless of how small it might be.
