Craig Davidis answering the call of the wild.
In a new post shared on the English singer'sInstagramaccount this week, he's seen rescuing a flying fish after the marine animal leaps out of the water and lands at his feet while vacationing.

"I'm literally having dinner and this fish comes flying out," the "7 Days" hitmaker, 44, explained in the Thursday, Feb. 5 video.

The clip, which is pointed at the fish for the entirety, showed David reaching down to the blue-winged fish at his feet.
"Okay, I was gonna grab you," he said to it as it wiggled around. "Okay, now, putting you back in."
After picking it up, he explained how it jumped out of the sea as he tossed it back in. David also credited the cool moment to the full moon being out at the time, panning his camera to show the sky.
With the focus now back on the flying fish, the crooner roots for it, hoping that it's fine after its time out of the water. Seconds later, his camera captures a larger fish devouring the one he just rescued.
"Oh my days. Never expected the ending tho," he captioned the Instagram Reel, adding, "What a divine message to receive- We can't control lifes plan."
His comment section quickly filled up.
"It came to you for safety and you sent it to it's death," one person wrote, along with several crying emojis.
Another added, "'Ooooooh dear' why am I sad and laughing at the same time! And then the comments!!"
"Broskii… You threw him back into the one thing he was trying to get away from!" a third said.

Over on his Instagram Stories the morning after, David reflected on the experience while walking through his resort villa, saying, "You have no idea how many comments I had on my phone when I woke up this morning from that flying fish situation."
"Wow!" he added, noting that it was posted to his Stories before he shared it to his actual page. "But I got the message. I got the memo. I mean what a divine messenger that little blue, flying fish was in the end, right?"
"It's like, you just can't control what the play is. You try and do the right thing in the moment, what feels right, but you have no idea what the play was that was going on so, I got the life lesson," David continued.
