It turned out that I had some free time this Sunday and was near the Surfsee again. My new friend was there too! In total, I saw him come and fly back with a fish four times – I was never in the right place. Once, he splashed into the water less than 25 meters from me, completely surprising me because I was busy with the cormorants. After an hour and a half, I walked to Höllsee to have a look around, but there are significantly fewer places here from which you can overlook the lake – the osprey didn’t show up there either. From a distance, however, I saw him making his next round over the surfing lake, exactly where I had been waiting. Bad luck! But I did get a few nice shots, and I have an idea why he hunts in certain places. If I’m right, next time I’ll be right where he splashes into the water.
