I think it shows that he's really workin' to lift that fish.
Yes, he struggled very hard to capture this fairly large salmon and almost lost it but the bird finally flew away with it. I thank you very much, Lomgshadow.
I agree with above responses; it shows he is really struggling, excellent shot. I'm wondering if he made it to the shore?
The osprey did make it to the trees nearby to feast on it. The bird captured a large salmon and had difficulty with it as the fish also struggled to get away. I thank you very much, tramsey, for your good reply.
