DIVING down at a speed of 75mph, this is the moment a hungry osprey caught his prey. The osprey swoops in, with its eyes firmly fixed on the trout below, before making a sharp exit with his meal. The moment was photographed by Andrew Lee in El Dorado Park in Long Beach, California. ‘The osprey at this lake circled the edges trying to spot a fish,’ says Andrew, of Irvine, California.
