Title: Third time lucky

They say Ospreys are very efficient anglers; this one doesn't seem to be so. The other day we saw this particular one dived in, grabbed a fish and dropped it on his way out of water. Within a minute he came back, dived in around the same location, grabbed presumably the same fish and then dropped again while flying away. After circling for about 3 minutes, he dived in again around the same place; this time he was successful in holding on to his catch.
