Headline: One That Got Away: Fish Gets Away From Osprey

Caption: The one that got away! This majestic osprey may be a natural hunter, but one fish proved too slippery a customer. Wildlife photographer Daniel Hauck captured this amazing sequence of the bird fishing in Scotland's Cairngorms National Park. The 22 year old from Northamptonshire explains: "Ospreys have long been top of my list of birds to photograph. Therefore on a recent trip to Scotland I made sure that I visited a hide in the Cairngorms National Park in order to try and see them hunting and get some great photos. It required an incredibly early morning start but we were rewarded with the most amount of Ospreys that our local expert guide had seen all year with up to 10 different Ospreys fishing. It was amazing to see how accurate the birds were considering the speed that they hit the water. However, a few times the Opsreys would slightly misjudge the size of the fish or not get a good hold of it in their claws. This particular sequence shows the fish that got away!"
