The osprey steadied itself along the water by sticking out its wings and feet. TAIPEI, TAIWAN: SPECTACULAR images showed the moment a twenty-three inch eagle plunged into water and resembled the ?X-wing Starfighter? from Star Wars. In one image, the osprey eagle was shown as it steadied itself ready for its landing along the river by sticking out its wings and feet - helping it to balance. In another image, the osprey replicated the shape of an ?X-wing? from Star Wars as the bird?s 66-inch wings caused a splash of water which looked comparable to the multi-winged spaceship from the space-opera series due to a reflective ripple effect along the water. The spectacular images were captured by photographer Leo Liu from Taipei, Taiwan, who caught the spectacle on camera in the country?s Kinmen national park from around 98-feet away. The osprey bird took just three seconds to steady its pace before landing. Leo used a Sony A911 camera to capture the snaps and a Sony FE 200-600mm lens. Ospreys feed mostly off fish and are one of the most widely travelled eagles in the world. The wings of an osprey can reach up to five-feet at full adult size and they are native to the United States. @udnleo
