We observed the Osprey for a considerable time. It harassed the "resident" Fish Eagle and afterwards undertook several dives from a height and actually dived below the surface of the river. After numerous dives without catching any fish the Osprey left the area. The Osprey visited the estuary every day during our stay at Goukamma (20-08-2014 to 25-08-2014) |
