AN OSPREY picks up a takeaway from his favourite eaterie — a well-stocked trout farm.

He was caught on camera snatching the fish from the water before flying off with it in his talons by professional wildlife photographer Gary Jones.

Gary, 52, who was filming in Rutland, said: ‘Ospreys were re-introduced to the area in the early 2000s and the fish available at the farm has undoubtedly assisted in their successful reintroduction.

‘They are my favourite bird — I just love photographing them diving to catch fish.’
