This is a rather large crop, but it is unusual enough that I though I

would post it. I have never heard of ospreys taking birds, but

apparently they do. I saw him nail the grebe and then lose it because

of harassment from the gulls.

You Birders amaze me !!! rare shot..

I guess they say Osprey's diet consists of 99.9% and not 100% of fish is true. Is this the same bird that we've seen lately? He must be really really hungry.

I think this is one of the 2 that have been hunting there. The other one has a big split in his tail.

Really an excellent capture. Best regards.

Amazing capture. Thanks for posting it. Regards, Jean-Marc

Realy nice shot, good moment, perfect composed. Interesting work. Regards.

He probably just suffers from myopia...

Maybe grebe really tastes fishy? And were the gulls actually trying to steal its catch or just mobbing out of general principle? Great catch of rare behavior Monte!

I think they were mobbing, just because thats what they do. The grebe may have been diving underwater and he thought it was a fish. Lot of maybes here...

A well captured shot, you had to be quick for this!!

Wonderful shot, and not an easy one to get.

That's unusual behavior, I've never seen them catch anything except fish.

A most interesting 'incident'. However, this is really amazing. Right moment right place. I will return with my dice...

Yes,larger is amazing what this hunter looks,kind regards,Radu.
