[Eagles] Osprey surfing on water (魚鷹水上滑翔)

Osprey surfing on water (魚鷹水上滑翔)

The osprey surfed on water for two to three times.  Any idea of what the purpose was of this act?  Thank you.

Mai Po - October 2016

Possibly dragging for fish (rather like a skimmer), or hoping to scare one into revealing itself for capture.  I've seen them seize fish directly with a snatch into the water but never seen them do this- interesting photos.

This was also the first time I saw this.  This osprey did not (or failed to) drag out any fish by doing this.

Really interesting behaviour -  Thanks for sharing !
