OSPREY FISHING IN SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS
An osprey soars through the air at 30 miles per hour before swooping down to catch its prey from a lake. Pictured in the Scottish Highlands, the bird hits the water before lifting off with a rainbow trout in its talons. The striking photographs were captured by 16-year-old student Samuel Aron, of Watford, when he visited the Rothiemurchus fishery in Aviemore, Scotland.
