Osprey Splash and Two Fish Catch
I didn’t see this Osprey preparing to dive directly above me between the mangroves.
But I heard the splash!
Luckily I was able to shoot these two full frame photos as the Osprey was already lifting out.
Osprey dive splash
Osprey lifting out…..was it successful?
With the mangroves surrounding us both, the Osprey was quickly out of my sight. I watched for it to rise above the trees to see if it fished successfully.
Most definitely! The Osprey caught two fish!
Osprey caught two fish at once!
Both the Osprey and I got lucky! 😉

What an incredible sight to see first hand! William — “What a wildly wonderful world, God! You made it all, with Wisdom at Your side, made earth overflow with your wonderful creations.” Psalms 104 The Message
Thank you, William! I wish I had gotten splashed a bit to further enhance this awesome experience that much more! “Splashed by an Osprey”, how cool would that be! 😊
