The best fisherman that I know.

This guy is the best fisherman that I know. He rocked up this afternoon with his evening meal and at the time of posting he had still not started to eat it. He was too busy showing it off to the passing boats!!!

Ospreys are great fishers, a guy on NSN has a shot of an Osprey taken I believe in Norway with what looked like rainbow trouts (or maybe salmon), one in eacy talon :shock:

Great shot, and you're lucky to have them at hand.

Great photograph there Oneputt

The fish is probably having unprintable last thoughts though!

Handsome devil there Loz. Any self respecting raptor would look twice at such a dignified handsome specimen.

Great catch John!

That's a decent sized fish too, shame he didn't drop it for you, would have made a nice dinner :D
