This print titled "Osprey catching a fish C015 / 6899" showcases the remarkable hunting prowess of the osprey, a magnificent bird of prey found across Europe and Scandinavia. The image captures an extraordinary moment as the osprey, also known as the sea hawk or fish eagle, takes flight with its prized catch firmly grasped in its powerful talons. With its keen eyesight and incredible agility, this predatory bird has evolved to become an expert fisherman.
