Fish thief

At last the weather's cleared. When it is bad, ospreys struggle to hunt, but now they'll seize the chance to grab a meal. However, for many, catching a fish doesn't always mean eating it. Hungry eyes are always watching. And if the watcher is a heavy-weight like a bald eagle the ospreys are in trouble. An eagle chases an osprey and intimidates it into dropping its fish. Young ospreys will face these dangers - and every meal lost means less energy to complete the journey.
