Pandion haliaetus
spotted on residential dock pylon on the Indian river
This osprey struggled several minutes with the large roe mullet before begginning to eat it. About an hour later the bird finished the meal and flew off.

@Ava: I don't believe I've joined that mission, but I will check it out. And thank you, Gentlemen, for the kind comments. Local fishermen have been scouring the river for roe mullet before they go out to sea to spawn; seems the ospreys are having better luck.
Great series !
