Fish for dinner coming up, I'd say...

A Western Osprey - look at the symmetry and the perfect position of the talons to latch onto the fish.

A brilliant photo!

Just in from work, what great photo! Raptors are so interesting.
It resembles an excited prospector who has just spotted a gold nugget or a beautiful gemstone!

Great shot there Megsy... Birds of Prey are my favourite.... erfect:
I worked on a high-rise in Brisbane where we had 2 Peregrine Falcons nesting... They would swoop down 28 stories to grab Pigeons to feed their young... Fastest Animal in the World... :koala:

Found another one, that's almost the opposite of the first one... This catch went very wrong - good on you bluey! Apparently he was dropped and got away.
Is this what you'd call 'biting off more than you can chew?' :lol:

That reminds me of the old poster of a frog choking a pelican as its trying to eat him.
The caption read "Never give up"
