I was down by the river this morning and spotted this lad, or lady.
Managed to get a couple of shots that were ok.
Very poor light, so not the greatest, but nice to see and get anyway.
Here they are

I think that this set is rather better than OK. Very well observed and caught.

I was watching it, on the rocks, and it seemed to set, like a dog would and then it just dived straight in. The trout was speared on its upper beak. I was surprised at the size of the fish and it just swallowed it. You can see the lump in its throat, in the last shot.
I wasn't expecting to see or capture it.
Glad I did though.

Just yesterday I had a chance to actually see one fish as well. Quite amazing. Great set!
