Hoppy Hank said: there's chat on YT that the last fish (4:58) had a long fishing line attached
Thank you, HH
It's quite clear, too, if one isn't half blind
Presumably there's a hook in the flesh somewhere - what a shame for the poor fish to escape the angler only to be caught by an Osprey :(

Oh gosh. I hope the hook doesn't get swallowed and/or the line wrap round feet etc
Fish at 13 38 Looked to be fair size
Thank you Korky. Worrying of course, but has it been seen at all on the nest?
16.02 FISH - no idea what number to attribute to it. I think it was headless and a good size.
16.10 a chick moves a sticky stick, just like mum does!
