Sunday Sketch: Osprey hunting

Ospreys are great hunters, generally going after fish which make up the majority of their diet. They can dive one meter deep into the water, so they usually hunt in clearer water. They typically spot the fish by perching or hovering over the water. Osprey are able to see the fish under the water due to their incredible vision.
