osPREY air cargo

The fish is arranged by the osprey such that the head points in direction of flight. Not out of consideration of its passenger (it is cargo after all) but for reason of airodynamics.
After a catch, you can see the osprey rearranging its breakfast bundle in-flight until this form is reached, they then hold one foot in front and the other behind, forming a triangle with the prey.
The bird of my previous post has not yet done this: Prey just caught

Hi Gabi,

You did really well with these pictures of the Osprey you took. The only thing wrong with the picture is that it isn't mine! ;-) Well done!
