Osprey. View of an osprey (Pandion haliaetus) perched on a branch in a tree. Ospreys are birds of prey which live throughout the world near water. Their diet consists almost entirely of fish. They catch fish by swooping over the surface of the water before plunging in feet first,emerging with the fish held firmly in their talons. Ospreys make nests of sticks,usually in a tree or on a rocky cliff by the coast. They may reach a length of over 50 centimetres. They are migrants,breeding in North America,Eurasia and Africa,and spending the winters in South America,Africa and Asia | |
