A juvenile Osprey in flight low over Chew Valley Lake, clutching a fish in its talons. Its wings are fully extended in a powerful upward stroke, with water droplets falling from its plumage into the rippling water below.

JUVENILE OSPREY WITH THE SUN ON ITS WINGS AND A FISH IN ITS TALONS
A juvenile Osprey skimming the water over Chew Valley Lake with a successful catch. This bird was ringed in Contin, Scotland, and spent over a month here learning to fish before its long migration to West Africa. Seeing the low sun catch the underside of those patterned wings as it gained height was a real highlight.
