Ospreys

The Osprey is a large bird of prey found around the world. It has a distinctive white head and underparts, and a brown back and wings. Ospreys are known for their exceptional fishing abilities, as they dive into the water to catch fish with their talons.
They build their nests high up in trees or on man-made structures like telephone poles and platforms.

The Osprey is a migratory bird, traveling long distances between its breeding and wintering grounds. These magnificent birds are often seen near bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, where they can hunt for fish.
