Osprey feet-dragging

Pencil sketch

 By

Duncan M. Watt

This behaviour (drawn in Sweden) has yet to be adequately explained. It was a very hot day, and the water was still as glass. Have the fish gone to the cooler water below? Is the osprey trying to attract their curiosity or is it just trying to cool its feet?
