Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) fishing from a small branch. This bird of prey is found near coastal and inland waters throughout the world. It feeds on fish,either watching from a waterside perch such as this or flying or hovering over the water. When it spots a fish it dives on it with its talons and lifts it from the water,taking it back to a perch to eat. It can reach a length of around 60 centimetres with a wingspan of around 1.7 metres.
